Texas Producers Enthusiastic About Cotton's Prospects

How will improved cotton prices affect Texas, which continues to rank as the largest cotton production state in the country?

Even without the price increase, Texas is once again projected to produce 40 percent of all the cotton produced in the United States.

Jackie Smith, Texas AgriLife Extension economist based in Lubbock, says the more attractive price may move additional acres back to cotton. Specifically, he's referring to the area between Amarillo and Lubbock, which has recently seen some acres move to grain sorghum.
