Yep. Would take about 30% jump in cotton and 50% down on beans to make a big move on moderate ground. With the price of N, cotton is drawing real close to corn. Might be easy to slip another subsidy in the farm bill with Libs pushing welfare.

Just push that the sheep can't afford clothes and we might get some cotton ground back.

You don’t simply decide to grown cotton. Still one of the most labor intensive crops to farm

It’s not the most labor intensive but certainly the highest $ input to grow.
