Readers Rate Crop 'Good To Fair'
Following is a sampling of the comments we received from people who voted in the September Web Poll in which they discussed factors that contributed to crop conditions this year.
• "Our cotton looked real good until the September 'monsoon.' Don't know right now – a lot of boll rot and hard lock. Made me kind of nervous when I ran the sprayer while defoliating. We have had two inches of rain since and only one day of sunshine. Better pray for dry weather, or we will certainly be singing 'Jingle Bells' on the turnrow."
• "After 18 days and 15.5 inches of rain, it's still raining." Neal Isbell – northwest Alabama.
• "This cotton crop had a lot of potential until the September rains started. Almost continuous wet and overcast conditions for about six weeks have reduced it to an unbelievably big mess that may not even get harvested if predicted weather becomes a reality. I've often heard the old guys talk about the 1957 crop. Now I know what they mean. Maybe next year – if we can survive financially."
