king cottonLast week's freeze and rainy/sleety weather slowed the cotton harvest, but it's still a great crop. Some cotton sold last week at $1.36 a pound. My dad was telling the story that in 1945 my grandfather ginned, for a New Deal farmer, the first bale of cotton in Lubbock County. Back then the first bale was auctioned off on the courthouse lawn - it sold for about 20 cents a pound.
