Mark,
Well I am a cotton farmer, my market has not taken off like the grain market. I have the ability to raise grain, but landlords see cotton, cotton, cotton, and more cotton. That is how we made our living for so long. We will continue to grow cotton because that is what we do. We are recieving 3.09 cent per pound. Which is not much about 15 bucks per bale. And they will release on March 1st if there will be any CCP's for corn, soybeans, wheat or milo. We are currently moving to more grain, but if the cotton market takes off like i think it might do we will be wall to wall cotton within a year or so again.

Thanks for raising cotton. Hope you get a fair market value for your product. I love wearing cotton. Synthetics have their place.....so does cotton. There seems to be no real substitue for real cotton fabric .........placed against human skin. |
