Economic analysis of solid versus skip-row cotton: a case study Tallahatchie County, MS 2000

摘要

Under drought and expected weather conditions, 2' 1 full skip results in superior estimated net returns per acre than solid cotton. The current costs of producing cotton and its low price, which has persisted for several years, has resulted in negative returns for many Mississippi cotton growers. Some growers with the highest whole - farm yields have been able to maintain positive return with conventional practices, but their rate of return has been greatly diminished.
