Freeze Damage To Area Cotton May Run From 5 To 10 Per Cent
Last week’s freeze damaged the South Plains cotton crop by an estimated five to ten per cent. K N Clapp of Lubbock, a veteran crop reporter, says production may fall from 75 000 to 150 000 bales in the two county area. The freeze lasted one to two hours but did not kill, with bottom leaves largely unaffected. Accurate measurements will take ten days to three weeks.
