Lubbock-area cotton growers are conflicted about whether to plant. The rain that fell in the past week was insufficient to get a dryland crop started, but would be enough with irrigation.
“This rain has actually made decision-making quite a bit harder,” the cotton producer said. He fears that the rain may not continue, and the area has such a large rain deficit already. The insurance plant deadline is June 5.
