New Varieties Show Promise
Positive Reaction
The general reaction from producers who attended the launch event in Charleston was positive.
Texas producer Kirby Lewis of Lubbock grew two Class of '10 varieties on his farm, and both exceeded four bales per acre.
"They stripped well at harvest and weren't too loose in the boll," he says. "They were fairly stormproof and were excellent yielders."
Meanwhile, Tennessee producers Don and Mike Pearson say they were pleased at how the new varieties performed on their farm. However, bad weather in the fall had an unfortunate impact on yields.
