Cotton crops boost Texas producers amid farm policy debates
The column cites James Roberts of the Andrews County News and a Dallas analyst saying irrigated cotton acres are moving to vegetables in Arizona and California, with China also shifting to food crops. It argues Texas Panhandle and South Plains farmers may profit from lower global cotton output, while warning about free market downsides under Reaganomics. The piece notes Texas Farmers Union briefs on dairy bonds and a proposed non refundable cotton check off, and recalls a three generation Methodist baptism event in Wellington, outlining long time pastor Dr Hubert Thomson and family.
