Area Cotton Yields Are Lush
Harvest progress across Oklahoma counties is reported with Kiowa at 50 to 60 percent complete and Caddo near 65 percent by weekend. Gins in several towns handle up to 1,000 bales daily while county yields peak around 40,000 bales. Plantations vary from two bales per acre to half-bale, and irrigation supports higher yields. Farmers face storage issues as buyers anticipate lower loan prices to move stock.
