Plains Cotton Harvest Delayed by Damp Conditions in 1965
Damp weather and lingering field work keep the 1965 cotton harvest in the South Plains far from finished with an estimated 25 percent of the crop still in fields as January begins. Receipts at three classing offices show slow progress and year over year totals remain well below 1964 figures, while prices edge downward and cottonseed ranges from 45 to 52 per ton. Youth livestock shows and honors for Ben Holcomb highlight regional farming news.
