On the 28th of August 2009, we wrote about the 'Cotton Wool Disease'. [1] The news tonight is that severe weather events are piling up the difficulties on Arkansas farmers. [2]
“We had a crew scouting cotton diseases that had to take cover in farmers’ houses,” Barber said. “It just surprised everybody.”
In Mississippi County, Extension Staff Chairman Dave Freeze surveyed a field of sandblasted cotton plants. The young plants were drooped and doubled back on themselves with withered leaves touching the ground. All around loose sand filled depressions in the rows like drifted snow.
“If they’re bent over and black, they’re usually gone,” Barber said of the plants.
