The recent runup in cotton prices could give corn and soybean acres a run for their money in the Midsouth. Gary Adams, president and CEO of the National Cotton Council says the Council’s acreage estimates, released earlier this year, pointed to a 5 percent decline in cotton acres.
But, he tells Brownfield that could change. “The market has strengthened, and has strengthened to a level that we would expect cotton acres to be relatively flat,” he says.
