Bickley says cotton crop good in area
PECOS, Nov. 29, 1999 - Onions are going in the ground, bell peppers have
been harvested and cotton harvest is coming along great, according to farmers
in the Pecos area.
"We got finished with the pepper harvest before the freeze," said A.B.
Foster.
Peppers are the third of the four main crops harvested annually in the
Trans-Pecos region. Onions are the first picked, beginning in May, followed
by Cantaloupes in July.
Late fall is planting season for onions, while cotton is being removed
from the fields. The area's havest began prior to the first hard freeze
of the fall, last Wednesday and Thursday, when temperatures dropped below
32 degrees outside Pecos.
While the dry conditions that began in 1991 have continued in the Pecos
area for the eighth straight year, rains did fall at times this summer
both in the Davis Mountains area and in northern Reeves County, refilling
reservoirs for farmers in the region.
Combined with warm fall temperatures, the local cotton crop did great
in 1999, according to Bob Bickley, executive director for the Trans Pecos
Cotton Association.
"We had a great cotton harvest, one of the best crops I've seen in years,"
said Bickley. "The crop is larger," he said.
Bickley stated that not all of the cotton is ginned, some is put in
modules and ginned later. "It's been a real good harvest," he said.
Even though winter has not entirely set in the onions are usually put
in the ground around this time, to be harvested the following year.
