There were 806 active cotton gins during the 2007 season, down from the 835 gins that operated in 2006. Forty-five percent of the gins processed more than 20,000 running bales compared with 53 percent the previous season. 2007 Cotton Final: All cotton production is estimated at 19.2 million 480- pounds bales, down 11 percent from last year's production. The U.S. all cotton yield averaged 879 pounds per acre, up 65 pounds from last year. Upland cotton production is estimated at 18.4 million 480-pounds bales, down 12 percent from last year. The U.S. yield for upland cotton is estimated at 864 pounds per acre, up 58 pounds from last year's yield. The yield will be the highest on record, surpassing the previous record high of 843 pounds per acre set in 2004. Harvested area, at 10.2 million acres, is down 18 percent from last year. American-Pima, at record 851,800 bales (480-pound), is up 11 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is estimated at 1,419 pounds per acre, up 283 pounds from last year. In the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia), producers battled extreme drought conditions during the early summer. By late June, planting was complete in the region. Drought conditions continued to plague producers throughout the fall causing the crop to develop ahead of normal in most areas. By the end of September, harvest was ahead of normal throughout the region except in Georgia, where harvest lagged behind throughout the season. Harvest was complete in the region by early December. Objective yield measurements in Georgia show boll counts to be the third highest in the last 5 years. Upland growers in the Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee) finished planting in late May. The cotton crop in the Delta States matured rapidly during the late summer and early fall due to the continual hot, dry weather. In September, harvest got underway but by the middle of the month, Louisiana and Mississippi producers were hit with several weeks of rainy weather which delayed harvest. In Missouri and Tennessee, favorable fall weather and an advanced crop allowed harvest to be completed by the middle of November, well ahead of normal. The objective yield data show Louisiana and Arkansas boll counts to be the highest on record. In Louisiana, producers had a record yield, surpassing the previous record set in 2003. In Mississippi, boll counts and boll weights are slightly lower than the 5-year average. Southwest (Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) producers battled wet, cool conditions which delayed planting of upland cotton. The later planted crop and the abnormally wet, cool summer caused crop development to lag behind normal. During the early fall months, hot weather and timely rains helped promote crop development in the region. By mid-September, after a delay from the excessive rains during the summer, harvest was finally in full swing in South Texas. In the High Plains of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, harvest got underway in October where ideal weather allowed harvest to advance rapidly. A record high yield was recorded by Oklahoma producers, surpassing the previous record set in 2004. Data from the objective yield survey shows Texas bolls per acre to be the highest on record and boll weights to be second heaviest on record. The yield in Texas is estimated at 843 pounds per acre, surpassing the previous record set in 2005. California and Arizona upland producers completed planting by early June. Ideal weather throughout the summer and fall months allowed the crop to develop ahead of normal. In Arizona, harvest got underway by the first of the September, slightly ahead of normal. In the San Joaquin Valley, harvest was in full swing by the middle of October. By the end of November, harvest was complete in California. Data from the objective yield survey show California boll weights to be heaviest on record. California's yield is estimated at record high 1,608 pounds, surpassing the previous record set in 2004.
