2010 cotton prospects a mixed bag for US
08/25/2010
Cotton prospects across the US range from potentially fantastic to possibly awful, depending on weather patterns so far this year, Southeast Farm Press reports.
Weather has touched the extremes — too much rain in south Texas and too little in parts of Louisiana, Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas, the publication reported.
South Carolina cotton farmers, who increased acreage by 50 percent this year over last, are expecting an average crop.
