Economic Implications of Cotton Production: Texas Trans Pecos

Ronald D. Lacewell, Timothy A. Knesek, and Jaroy Moore


 
ABSTRACT

Cotton production in the Trans Pecos Region of Texas has been severely effected by variability of yields and rising costs of production. Based on crop enterprise budgets, the effect of annual per acre debt costs of 0, 50 and 100 dollars were evaluated for alternative cotton prices.With debt, the yield required to just cover all costs are. significantly greater than without debt. The analysis indicates sensitivity of producer profit in cotton production to annual per acre debt cost.
