Cotton Management Economic Notes, Volume 2, No. 2

Abstract

For most of Arizona, cotton is now planted and the growing season is well underway. Decisions that affect the cost of producing cotton for each farmer have been made; land preparation, preseason fertilizer (if any) and herbicide application, pre-irrigation, and planting are completed and the cost incurred can not be recovered. These first management decisions are also the first economic decisions. All decisions whether they are made on an economic basis or not have potential economic consequences.
