 Meanwhile, a large supply of cotton is putting pressure on its price. Looks like U.S. cotton growers have planted a lot more acres to cotton this year, 14% more, and also will actually be able to harvest more of those acres. Based on the acreage report, we raised our production forecast by a million bales. That would take the U.S. cotton crop up to 17 million bales, last year's production only about 12%.
