Around me, there's a lot of fields that are "due" to be planted in cotton this year, which are instead getting soybeans. The "Cotton Grower's Association" has been running heavy advertising on local TV. I'm seeing fields that have been plowed and disked instead of the usual herbicide required "no till" routine that has been popular here since the 90s. A couple of them at least are going to regret that; the erosion control levees and terracing aren't there anymore, they reshaped the land for bigger machines and "no till" levels of erosion. The wheat all got plenty of fertilizer and is growing up green and lush, I've got doubts about how much feeding the corn will get this year. There's a couple places out there with seedlings peeking up that are so weedy and scraggly i cannot see why they even bothered planting; must have something to do with crop failure insurance.
