King Cotton yields to soybean boom in Alabama fields
In central Alabama, Tom McLemore profiles a shift from cotton to soybeans as prices, costs, and labor needs favor soybeans. He cuts cotton from 600 to 210 acres, projects an $80,000 profit from soybeans, and notes modern cotton's higher costs versus soybeans. Agricultural experts describe the soybean rise as ongoing since the 1960s, aided by later planting, mechanization, and markets via Mobile Port.
