Cotton harvest forecast dips sharply from last year
The agriculture department projects 10,308,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight this year, down from 16,128,000 last year and well below the ten year average. The drop reflects crop control measures to curb surpluses, with July 1 acreage about 31 percent below a year ago and a carryover of roughly 7,000,000 bales.
