High-yield production in the core cotton region of Midea is facing challenges
In the past week, the US industry has had various speculations about the losses caused by extreme weather to cotton production in the Texas Plateau. Whether the new cotton in the late evening can mature on time can attract attention. At present, the negative impacts of extreme weather on new cotton include sunny and windy weather, which makes the soil too dry and has great challenges in seedling growth. Then there was the local hail and thunderstorms, the windy winds and the temporary power outages that brought local damage to the cotton fields. Although the specific losses of cotton fields are still being estimated at this stage, according to the head of the Lubbock Plains Cotton Farmers Association, the abandoned farming rate in the damaged areas is likely to reach 18-20%, or even higher. It is reported that the farmers in the Lubbock region have replanted about 100,000-200,000 acres, which were completed around June 30, nearly three weeks after the original crop insurance deadline of June 10. Moreover, the new cotton that has not been replanted has been severely damaged. It is estimated that it is difficult to flower before the middle and late August, and the yields will definitely be greatly reduced. These new cottons need longer, moderately temperatureed autumn growth periods. Experts from Texas A&M University said that although Texas's cotton production was high in 2016, it is difficult to repeat this year, and historical data shows that it is very difficult to produce new cotton after June 30. A large local ginning factory is expected to reduce production by half of the cotton area in which it is processed, and between 35-50% in the three important cotton areas in the west. Fortunately, recent rains have reduced irrigation costs and sufficient soil moisture during the summer growing season. Experiments conducted by seed companies to improve yields and lint quality have also brought uncertainty to cotton production forecasts. However, cotton's self-recovery ability is also very strong, and with the expansion of this year's area, if there is no extreme weather in the later period, the output of the northern part of the Texas Plateau is likely to increase substantially. It is reported that the US Department of Agriculture will release actual production forecasts from various locations in Texas based on field surveys in the monthly report on August 10.
