Cotton yields hold steady in several counties as price changes loom
Yields were unchanged in Clay Concho Mitchell Nolan Scurry and Taylor while 26 counties saw increases averaging 25 pounds per acre. Knox Counts gained 59 pounds King 51 Jones 41 and Haskell 28 Stonewall 21. Secretary Freeman urged a 1969 12.5 million bale crop to compete with foreign producers and meet export needs. Elimination of diversion payments lowers the 1949 farm program cost to about 825 million versus 954 million in 1997 Brage notes. Changes shift income toward productive capacity rather than diversion payments.
