It could’ve been a lot worse for us

Cotton Delivers

It Was Still A Wild Ride During '09 Season

Tommy Horton

"It could've been a lot worse for us," he says. "We had weather challenges, but they seemed to wane at the right time for us in the High Plains. The irrigated cotton was pretty good, and the dryland was hit-or-miss."

The southern part of Texas simply couldn't attract anything resembling acceptable weather conducive to good cotton production.

"Those farmers in that region will be back," Hudson says. "This makes two straight years that the weather has turned out bad for them. The tropical storms have improved the soil moisture there, and they just need to catch a break for next year."
