Cotton Delayed and Lower Quality Because of Recent Weather
Tonight, WAAY-31’s Haley Baker reported on the way the recent weather has affected our local cotton crop. With Madison County, AL, being the state’s largest county producer of Cotton, a bad year for Cotton affects us all.
The National Cotton Council is a great source of information on the nation’s cotton crops and economy of the cotton industry. The link I have posted above shows the current statistics regarding the nation’s cotton harvest. However, the information I have pulled from that link is summarized both in the enclosed graphics as well as in my weather follow-up to our news story from WAAY-31 News at 6pm.

Overall Alabama’s weather for the next 10 days looks fairly good for the harvesting of our cotton, but any period of rains will slow that process.
