2011 Cotton Year In Review

Chuck Zimmerman

How did things go in the cotton industry in 2011? The answers were included in a Beltwide Cotton Conferences general session presentation by Dr. David Wright, University of Florida. Florida wound up the 13th largest cotton growing state last year as an fyi.

David says there was just too much that happened in 2011 to cover it all but he hit on the highlights. He says expectations were high at the beginning of the season due to the high price of cotton. Projections were for increased acreage. However, the harvest was significantly lower than expected. The problem was the loss of about a third of the cotton planted. It was a wild weather year!
