Detailed explanation-1: -Production Regions The High Plains region of Texas is located north and south of Lubbock, Texas between the Caprock and the New Mexico border. This area consists of 27 counties that produce 64% of the state’s cotton crop.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cotton is the leading cash crop in Texas. Texas ranks first in U.S. cotton production. Cotton generates $1.6 billion for farmers, with a state-wide economic impact of $5.2 billion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cotton is Texas’ largest crop, and industry experts say they expect just half the normal annual yield-which will drive up costs for consumers.
Detailed explanation-4: -About 1, 400 pounds of meal and hulls will be produced from one ton of cottonseed. These are used as feed for livestock, poultry, fish feed, and fertilizer. Whole cottonseed can also be feed to cattle without processing and it is high in energy, protein, phosphorus, and fiber.
