Is Comeback Inevitable?

This might be the worst kept secret in the cotton industry. In fact, it started being discussed last summer. Even back then and before the onslaught of untimely rains during the fall harvest, many economists were predicting that cotton acreage could increase in 2010.
Those predictions appear to be right on the mark.
However, the following questions persist: What caused the potential cotton acreage increase? Was it simply a case of an increase in cotton futures prices, or was it due to lower corn prices? Can this increase be sustained? And are these trends simply a predictable result of normal agricultural economic cycles?
