Cotton Crop To Be Greater Than Last Year’s
The Agriculture Department estimates the 1847 cotton crop at 4,664,000 bales of 500 pounds each. The September 2 crop conditions show a modest 8,000 bale increase over the August 1 forecast, still above last year’s unusually small output but below the 10-year average. Favorable late summer weather limited losses in the Midwest despite heat and drought in some areas.
