Price situation holds attention of all farmers
The Alabama cotton farmer learned Washington may peg prices at a minimum of 10 cents a pound. Farmers selling now gain from cotton sales and government checks from the 10,000,000 acre reduction program. Dry weather aids picking but few sell the new crop while awaiting federal guidance. Agricultural economist notes demand relies on wages and consumer money, not machines. Sweet potatoes, sugar cane progress, pastures dry but markets welcome syrup in cities. County agents push winter legumes with expected record hairy vetch and Austrian winter peas planting.
