Finally, even in the West

When Prices Improved, Producers Responded

Tommy Horton

Finally, even in the West where cotton acres were drastically reduced in California in 2009, there are signs of modest but significant increases. Contributing Editor Brenda Carol offers an in-depth look at why producers felt confident enough to make the switch, while having numerous options to grow other crops.

Projections and predictions are just that. They are forecasts based on how price relationships stand at the moment. Any unexpected event can change the environment quickly when you're dealing with volatile commodity markets. However, even the most conservative economist can't ignore these potential trends for 2010.

It's been a long wait for producers. Now it's time for that patience to be rewarded.
