Cotton Losses In Millions Through Valley By Steele Holman
Morgan Lawrence Limestone and Cullman counties face potential cotton losses totaling up to 11.4 million dollars if late 1976 harvest estimates hold. Lawrence 31 000 acres could lose 6.5 million, Limestone 43 350 acres may lose 2.6 million, Morgan about 1 million, Cullman 1.25 million. Officials seek disaster area status for low interest FHA loans as a November meeting flagged 50 percent crop loss, with resubmission planned after incomplete paperwork.
