Cotton Delivers
It Was Still A Wild Ride During '09 Season

Another factor that will likely keep Georgia cotton production stable in 2010 is the historical cotton-peanut rotation. Even with the possibility that peanut contracts next year could range between $450 and $475 per ton, Shurley believes cotton acreage may remain stable.
"I'm not saying that corn and soybeans won't have a place in Georgia," he says. "But because of how well peanuts fit into a cotton rotation, that may be why cotton acreage consistently stays at the same level.
"Listen, if corn and soybean prices go through the roof, we'll plant those crops in the sidewalks, if necessary. But I'm not really anticipating that next year."
