Local Cotton Planting Forecast beginning April 21
4-15-25
The growing season is here by the calendar as defined by the last-frost date which is this week for our area. We’ll see how that works out. I can think of a lot of years that I started to plant my garden early and never having success until later but it’s always fun to try to get a head start on a hobby. However, I can’t imagine playing the game of being first when it comes to my primary income in a year where success is so tied to high yields. At least with Cotton and Peanuts, I think most folks will wait out the next two weeks. If the last week of April has a favorable 10-day forecast, we’ll have a lot more to talk about. For me, If needed a longer period to plant, I would want to start as soon as conditions are good to excellent on productive soils and wait out the early cools spells often associated with May.
This year I will run the planting forecast again. When we wait out the marginal and poor days, our success increases. Look for that feature beginning April 21st.
