Down Kansas cotton acres shrink despite milder drought and high yields
In southern Kansas, cotton acres fall 30 to 50 percent as growers face wet field conditions and drift herbicide issues. Yet high yields in dryland plots reach around 900 to 1,120 pounds per acre, with optimism for 2016 as new cotton varieties and tech improve weed control and efficiency.
