Cotton Delivers
It Was Still A Wild Ride During '09 Season

The statistics reinforce what Shurley reports. In the November USDA crop report, the average yield projection for Georgia had dropped from 897 pounds to 873 pounds per acre. However, that still translates to a crop of 1.8 million bales, solidifying Georgia's ranking as the No. 2 cotton-producing state in the Belt behind Texas.
While the rain was damaging to parts of the Georgia crop, Shurley says it was cold weather temperatures in October that shut down the cotton's maturity progress.
"Those top three or four fruiting positions simply didn't have a chance when the cold snap hit," he says.
