Alternative Crop Options after Failed Cotton...

Hey Bugosphere Readers,

Here's a helpful link to the 2020 Alternative Crop Options after Failed Cotton and Late-Season Crop Planting for the Texas South Plains

It's from:

Calvin Trostle, Ph.D.
Professor & Extension Agronomist
Dept. of Soil & Crop Sciences
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
“Information to help Texas producers make better management decisions.”

Dr. Trostle emailed us this document with the following information:
 

This document has ample information that is applicable in the Texas Panhandle, eastern New Mexico, as well as east and south of the Lubbock region.  The planting dates would change.

Information includes assessment of existing damaged stands of cotton and grain crops.

Then “First Things” info. for grain sorghum, sunflower, guar, sesame, black-eyed pea and other pea/beans, summer annual forages, soybeans, and cautions about high-input catch crops like peanut or corn.

The contact information is provided for all the various contracting contacts I know of for the southern High Plains.
