Dry weather boosts cotton in Chaves County New Mexico
Chaves County Agent Al W Woodburn reports hot dry conditions favor cotton which covers about 50 000 of the 100 000 cultivated acres. Alfalfa faces weak markets tied to livestock prices as growers seek cash for operating costs with limited storage for later cuts. One third of irrigated land grows alfalfa about 35 000 acres, with the rest in sorghum and grains. Annual alfalfa yield is estimated at four and a half to five tons per acre according to US census figures.
