There were 734 active cotton gins during the 2008 season, down from the 806 gins that operated in 2007. Thirty-two percent of the gins processed more than 20,000 running bales compared with 45 percent the previous season. 2008 Cotton Final: All cotton production is estimated at 12.8 million 480- pounds bales, down 33 percent from last year's production. The U.S. all cotton yield averaged 813 pounds per acre, down 66 pounds from last year's record high. Upland cotton production is estimated at 12.4 million 480- pounds bales, down 33 percent from last year. The U.S. yield for upland cotton is estimated at 803 pounds per acre, down 61 pounds from last year's record high yield. Harvested area, at 7.40 million acres, is down 28 percent from last year. American-Pima, at 430,800 bales (480-pound), is down 49 percent from last year. The U.S. American-Pima yield is estimated at 1,226 pounds per acre, down 193 pounds from last year. Upland growers in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia) finished planting by late June. By late summer, producers battled hot, dry conditions which allowed the crop to develop ahead of normal. During late August and early September, the region was hit by two storms, Tropical Storm Faye and Hurricane Hannah. Both of these weather patterns brought beneficial rains to the region. By the end of September, dry conditions and cooler temperatures allowed producers to begin defoliation and harvest throughout the region. Harvest was complete by early December. Objective yield measurements in Georgia showed boll counts to be slightly higher than the 5-year average. Producers in South Carolina reported record high yields, surpassing the record set in 2004. In the Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee) producers finished planting by the middle of June, behind normal due to the unseasonable cool, wet spring. Due to the later planted crop and the cool summer, the crop developed slightly behind normal except in Louisiana where the crop matured rapidly during the summer months. By the end of August, defoliation and harvest was underway in Louisiana, ahead of normal. On September 1, Hurricane Gustav made landfall in Louisiana bringing excessive amounts of rain to the South Delta region. By the second week of September, the region was hit by Hurricane Ike. Warmer temperatures and drier weather moved into the region by late September allowing producers to resume defoliation. Harvest was underway throughout the region by the first week of October, behind normal, and complete by the end November. The objective yield data showed Mississippi bolls per acre to be the second lowest in the last 5 years. In Arkansas, objective measurements showed the largest bolls per acre in the last 10 years. Data from the objective yield survey showed Louisiana bolls per acre and boll weight to be the lowest in the last 6 years. Due to the effects of Hurricane Gustav, Louisiana producers abandoned 66,000 acres and harvested their lowest area on record. Producers in Missouri reported record high yield surpassing the record set in 2004. Texas producers finished planting the upland crop by mid-June, slightly ahead of normal. Continual hot, dry weather allowed the crop to develop ahead of normal. Due to the early developing crop, harvest was underway in South Texas by late-July. Harvest in South Texas was delayed during the first part of August when the region was hit with Hurricane Dolly. Producers in the High Plains of Texas battled hot, dry conditions throughout the summer and early fall months. During the second week of September, Hurricane Ike made landfall bringing high winds and rain throughout Texas. During the fall, cool, wet weather moved through the High Plains delaying crop development and harvest activities. In late October, the Panhandle of Texas was hit with a hard freeze which allowed for defoliation to expand rapidly. During November, producers received ideal weather and were able to harvest the crop without interruptions. Harvest was virtually complete by late-December. Objective yield measurements showed Texas boll weights to be the second heaviest in the last ten years. Due to the drought conditions during the summer and abnormally cool weather in the fall, Texas producers abandoned 1.75 million acres of the 5.00 million acres planted. In Kansas and Oklahoma, planting was complete by the end of June. Throughout the summer and fall, the crop developed normally with harvest underway by the end of October. Harvest was complete by the last week of December. Producers in Kansas expect a record high yield surpassing last year's record. Upland producers in California and Arizona completed planting by mid-May. During the late summer, California producers battled intensely hot, dry weather. By late August, harvest was underway in the Desert Southwest, slightly ahead of normal. By the middle of September, cooler temperatures in California allowed for defoliation and harvest to begin throughout the State. Harvest was complete in California and Arizona by mid-December. California producers planted and harvested the lowest acreage since records began for upland cotton. ACCESS TO REPORTS!!
