Seven Step Cotton Program Driven Texas Yield Gains
Ten years into the Extension Service seven step cotton program Texas growers report higher acre yields and record breaking 1955 state average of 282 pounds per acre. Improvements include better varieties, machinery, defoliation, and soil building practices. Machine harvesting and herbicidal oils reduced costs with substantial savings. Extension teams and county agents conducted hundreds of meetings and news efforts to spread knowledge. The program attributes about 40 pounds per acre to its cumulative efforts across 6.86 million harvested acres, translating to roughly 90.5 million dollars in value at 33 cents a pound.
