While there may not be a place for some of it to go, Verett and Jerry Butman, General Manager of Lubbock Cotton Growers, agree the season ended with a good yield of most irrigated crops. However, dry land crops suffered from the mostly hot and dry summer.
Kris Verett of Verett Farms said that, “As cotton producers, we are an export market and what we rely on is having a home for this cotton,” Also, “We need foreign markets for that to go to and that’s kind of what’s driving the uncertainty in the market.”
