Odessa Farmer Monroe Wood Grows Record Cotton Crop
Monroe Wood of Odessa averaging six bales per acre on a 31 acre plot in Reeves County seven miles south and eight miles west of Grandfalls. He travels 650 miles or more for crop care, notes high quality white cotton fetching about 39 to 40 cents a pound. Heavy rains reduced quality, cutting value by 25 to 30 dollars per bale, while cottonseed adds roughly 12 dollars per bale. Wood leases 320 acres in the Cayanosa Valley and lives at 4605 East County Road with wife Edythe and two children LaQuitta Fay and Lynn.
