Plains Farming Cotton Forecast Proved Accurate
South Plains last year produced 1,913,100 bales in a 23 county area near Lubbock, Texas, while the December 1964 forecast estimated 1,912,000 bales. The final count, from USDA figures, missed by only 1,100 bales, underscoring a flawless forecasting record across bumper to drought years. The 20 county area forecasts by Lubbock Cotton Exchange and Plains Cotton Growers Inc. were also close to actuals with 1,863,800 bales versus 1,870,000 predicted. The first 1965 forecast will be issued in about three weeks.
