Cold weather slows High Plains cotton as forecast dampens yield
The Lubbock Cotton Exchange and Plains Cotton Growers postponed their October production forecast to assess damage from unseasonably cold weather and possible early freezes. Agricultural meteorologist Oliver Newton said near freezing temps would damage young bolls and push plants into dormancy, though open bolls and near-mature bolls would limit losses. The 25 county area had an estimated 2 005 000 bales for September, up from last year, and Newton cautioned losses could still leave a fairly good crop.
