Sunflower State | On the local TV stations an ad keeps playing speaking of the benefits of growing cotton here in SW KS. Says it is a higher value crop than corn, beans, milo etc. Claims it uses less water and is the choice of crop for our area. Any truth to these claims? With the ethonal plants going in and the feedyards I do not see a huge market for planting it going into the future. There are a number of fields around though.
I did a 170 mile loop through SW KS from Dodge City to Liberal and back this morning and I have never seen so much grain piled up. Every elevator had one or more piles of corn and milo waiting for a destination. Very impressive.

Is it cheaper to grow cotton?
