Cotton Planting Delayed and Acreage Up in Shafter
Ground temperatures around 50 to 58 degrees hold for planting as Gene Campbell and others forecast a late start around the 22nd. Despite slow start and wet conditions, Shafter cotton acreage is rising by 10 to 15 percent due to high contract prices and lack of set aside provisions.
