ping!

How’s the cotton crop going around Swinney Switch and points south? Everything looked real nice a couple of weeks ago but it’s been raining ever since. Last year nobody made a crop. This year too much rain.

Just read a report from Texas Seed Trade that the cotton in S. Tx is about 2+ weeks behind and that there won’t be much of a bottom crop on the plants. Also worried about boll rot. Doesn’t sound too good. Don’t have enough heat units so far. Cotton that is opening will have lower quality lint and that means lower prices because of the quality.

Don’t know about the cotton. Can’t get the corn in till it stops raining! 70% chance of rain tomorrow and 70% Saturday.

The wild sunflowers are about 15’ tall down by the creek!

Must be those darn wind turbines in West Texas slowing down the global atmosphere!;^)
