The word "optimism" is tossed around a lot these days when the conversation is about U.S. cotton's prospects for the 2010 season. However, nowhere is it more obvious than in Texas, the largest cotton production state in the country.
Attractive prices are one reason for the attitude across the state. But other factors are contributing to how producers and ginners are approaching the new season. Rainfall in both the southern and northern parts of the state is helping soil moisture levels
for planting.
All of this is contributing to a favorable environment for the Texas Cotton Ginners Association as it prepares for its annual meeting and trade show in Lubbock, April 8-9, at the Civic Center.
"I think the future looks good for Texas cotton," says Tony Williams, TCGA's executive vice president. "We're seeing some positive signs in every region of the state, and there just seems to be a much stronger interest in cotton everywhere, and that is very encouraging."
