Cotton price outlook tied to smaller crop says Fort Worth expert
George W. Armstrong of Fort Worth forecasts higher cotton prices as the season trends below normal. He cites a 25 to 30 percent acreage cut, predicting a 6 to 9 million bale yield and Texas production under 2 million bales, with Oklahoma well below 500,000. He argues costs exceed 20 to 25 cents per lint pound and calls for a credit and warehouse system to support producers.
