Cotton crop boost predicted for South Plains economy
The 1960 South Plains cotton crop is forecast at 2.038 million bales for 23 counties, potentially the largest on record. Plains Cotton Growers estimates the harvest could be worth 285 to 305 million dollars to growers, signaling a strong economic impact as the High Plains edges toward becoming America’s cotton empire. The October forecast also suggests Texas would produce a large share of national output, boosting local business with incoming crop money.
