California Cotton Bounces Back

That sentiment is echoed by Bowles as well as others, and it translates into cautiously optimistic numbers in planting intentions as well as price regardless of whether it's Pima or upland varieties.
"We will probably increase our cotton acreage a bit in response to the better prices," Bowles says. "This increase will come at the expense of acres planned for wheat, or any older alfalfa stands that are not holding up well. There are some decent opportunities for growers to protect themselves on next year's cotton. The price could always be higher, but when has that not been the case?"
Williams expects the split in acreage between Pima and upland will run from 60 percent Pima/40 percent upland to perhaps as high as 70/30.
