First cotton boll found in April at Fitzgerald Ga
In Fitzgerald Georgia on May 14 a farmer named C T Weaver brought in what is believed to be the earliest cotton boll for Bew Hill county. The boll grew on a volunteer plant at Weaver’s Osierfield farm and signals an unusually early start to this year’s crop with many fields already showing blooms and squares. The piece notes optimism that such early growth could hasten the reduction of boll weevil impact if years remain similarly favorable.
