CB's VA is cotton country. Carolina-Virginia Cotton Yields Looking Up Richard Davis rdavis@farmprogress.com December 18, 2007 North Carolina's forecasted cotton yield got a boost in the latest report from the National Agricultural Statistics Service, released December 1. NASS now estimates a yield of 718 pounds of cotton for 2007 in North Carolina, up 34 pounds from the 684 pounds forecast on Nov. 1. If correct that yield will be five pounds more than the 713 pound yield produced by North Carolina producers in 2006. Yield estimates for South Carolina increased even more in the December 1 report - but remained comparatively very low. NASS is forecasting growers in the Palmetto State will produce an average yield of 418 pounds of cotton in 2007. That estimate is up 40 pounds over the 378 pound yield predicted on Nov 1. That forecast yield is down 279 pounds, however, compared to the 697 pounds produced by South Carolina growers in 2006. Virginia yield forecasts in December were the most dramatically different from earlier predictions. In the December forecast NASS estimates Virginia growers will yield 830 pounds of cotton in 2007. That is up 82 pounds from the 748-pound yield forecast in the Nov. 1 report from NASS. If realized, cotton yield in the Commonwealth will be 113 pounds better in 2007 than the 748-pounds recorded in 2006. To learn more visit usda.mannlib.cornell.edu
