Abstract: Commercial cotton farms contribute about two-thirds of all U.S. cotton production. Approximately two-thirds of these farms had positive net farm income in 1991 and 1992. Low lint yields, especially in the South Plains region, appeared to be the major reason for negative incomes. A higher percentage of commercial cotton farms experienced financial stress compared with other commercial farms. These findings are based on the 1991-92 USDA Farm Costs and Returns Survey.
