last time I bought cotton was in the early-mid 80's.
seems like back then it was going for $65-80 a bale and decent dirt was getting 2-2.5 bales an acre. that adds up to an average of prox. $130-$200 per acre.
I forget what I paid for beans, seems like most were getting 35-40 bushels to the acre. again, this was in pretty good delta-semi delta dirt and 30 years ago.

Ole Geauxt I think you may be remembering that wrong. $80 a bale would be $.16 / lb. Those are depression era prices. Although the 80's were kind of a depression in Agriculture thanks to Jimmy Carter.
