Prospects for Cotton in Jones County Improve
Jones County Agent Kirby Clayton says prospects for a good cotton crop look strong in the county. An early-season control program helped set early yields, though severe bell weevil infestations in the south and southwest require central measures. The fall diapause spray program beginning in early September aims to reduce hibernation and curb future pests, though full benefits come after a tough year. Insects are lighter in the western part of the county, where most farmers expect to harvest well without heavy control.
