Cotton on Texas Blacklands Shown Profitable By Foundation
Texas Research Foundation at Renner demonstrates cotton can stay a major economic factor in the Blacklands. Yields may reach a bale and a half per acre under favorable moisture with rotation and soil-restoration trials. Results by 1954 show yield increases up to 50 percent and fertilizer payoffs up to $3.58 per $1. Ongoing eight-system trials seek sustainable cotton profitability and soil rebuilding to prevent bankruptcy.
