Record South Plains cotton acreage forecast for 1949
The Avalanche Journal reports that the 1949 cotton acreage on the South Plains could reach 3,000,000 acres or more, aided by expectations of rain and uncertainty over renewed acreage controls. About 2,100,000 acres were planted in 1948, with irrigation affecting 600,000 to 800,000 acres and dryland production varying widely. Congressman Mahon and local meetings push for higher plantings, while moisture prospects, grain sorghum shifts, and land use changes shape the forecast.
