Despite whatever difficulties Oklahoma cotton growers may be experiencing, apparently circumstances are worse in Texas. “From what I am hearing, the Oklahoma crop does look better than a lot of the Texas crop,” Altus cotton producer Mark Nichols, vice chairman of the Oklahoma Cotton Council, told KC Sheperd of the Radio Oklahoma Ag Network last week. “They were so dry and then got too much rain about the time they started planting. And they have had more severe storms in a lot of areas.” Jerry Hrnciar, retired Cameron University golf coach, said relatives who live in the Lubbock area told him the cotton crop there is poor. Shown is a field of 100% dryland cotton last November on SW 82nd Street just north of Woodlawn Road at the southwest edge of Lawton.
