Hexar county farmers face the worst drought in 20 years with the 1939 cotton crop projected at only about 500 bales, far below the 10 year average and prior drought years. Many fields were replanted but yields remained low due to boll weevils and worms, forcing some farmers to abandon cotton and graze cattle.
