Increase Expected In Southeast Acres

Wright says that dryland corn producers have had some tough times with dry areas of Florida for the past three years, and cotton requires less fertilizer inputs than corn.

"Growers who have cotton equipment need to make payments and are set up for harvest, whereas the drying capacity for both corn and soybeans has diminished over the past decade along with fewer combines," he adds.

Alternative Varieties Found

A concern of producers has been what variety to plant, but Wright says some of the newer varieties of cotton look good and have the potential to equal the yields of DPL 555.
