Here's what our local paper had to say:
Cotton prices higher than ever before and double those a year ago are expected to cause row crop farmers, who portion out their acreage among three or four different crops to reduce risk, to perhaps skew a bit toward more cotton acres, McGuill said.
“Our number of acres planted I anticipate will stay relatively level, but what’s going to be planted in those acres is going to change,” he said. “I think we’re going to see a marked increase in our cotton acres and level or down in our corn acres – cotton will take some of that away.
AND... given the life and luck of the farmers I know that means that something will happen that will cause the cost of cotton to fall, fall, fall before the crop is ready to harvest. :(
