2025 Cotton Outlook and Market Situation
1. Cotton prices are anticipated to stay low in 2025, driven by sluggish global economic growth, declining consumer demand, and rising trade uncertainty.
2. U.S. cotton acreage and production are likely to remain at current low levels in 2025 because of relatively weaker price expectations compared to competing crops.
3. Cotton production in 2025 is expected to face limited opportunities for profitability recovery, constrained by high input costs and low prices.|

Broccoli is grown throughout Georgia in both the fall and spring growing seasons. A locally significant wholesale industry developed in southwest Georgia, and acreage devoted to broccoli production has increased. The wholesale broccoli industry fills a market window in late fall, through winter, and into early spring. Plantings also occur in north Georgia, where lower winter temperatures limit late fall plantings but allow plantings later into the spring growing season. This publication addresses considerations of horticulture, entomology, and plant pathology for production of fresh market broccoli in Georgia.
