Strategies after Significant Rain in May.
5-21-2025 (Edited 5-22 - see Hunter Frames comments)
We have been stalled out somewhat for parts of our region from making progress in the field.  Now with another rainfall ranging from an inch to 2 behind us, we are looking at the calendar, variety types, increasing thrips damage, and historic expectations for late planting dates.  Thanks to studies by Dr. Hunter Frame at the Research Station as well as personal results from farmers who have planted cotton late in the past, we have a good handle on the strategies that lie before us.  My actual experience is that cotton planted up until about May 25th has full yield potential although it grows bigger and faster.  Then after May 25th until about June 5th, planting is less risky for making poor yields but is also more challenging for making record yields.  Basically, expect around 900 to 1200 pounds when planting after Memorial Day.  There is a good bit of information on the web to help with your plans for the next two weeks.  Check out Hunter Frame’s blog and as always, go to commonwealthgin.com to maximize your Cotton Success.

Variety, Soil Type, and planting date are all components of success as well as lowering risks so Log into Commonwealth gin by clicking here for daily updates on the planting forecast along with planting management strategies.
