* General Situation
* Cotton Harvest Aids


Cotton Situation
The crops in Hockley and Cochran Counties continue to be pushed to maturity. The cotton crop can now be considered safe from insect pests. Late flowering milo needs to be watched for a few more weeks. Some leaf spot has been noted in peanuts.

HARVEST AIDS IN COTTON
Attached with this newsletter is the updated harvest aid guide in its entirety. I will be putting out several harvest aid plots scattered across Hockley and Cochran counties over the next few weeks. I will try to provide an update on what we are seeing as far as effective results for harvest aids soon.
