Some reasons for having an early planting and crop termination date are to maximize fruiting before the monsoon season and avoid late season whitefly pressures. But another reason for being early this year is the market. Futures prices for nearby cotton contracts are remarkably higher than they are for the “new crop” December contract. May futures are currently 20¢ higher than December prices due to tight “old crop” supplies.Type
