800 000 Bale Area Cotton Crop Seen Despite Freeze
A first freeze for the South Plains arrived earlier than hoped but the cotton crop is still forecast at 800000 bales minimum with many observers expecting closer to 900000 or more. The freeze halted maturation and left fields with immature bales yet a late warm spell could have boosted yields by 50 000 to 100 000 bales. The crop remains a major cash producer valued above 175 million dollars and likely one of the largest in the South Plains history with record per acre yield possible.
