Consern with fall rain

It is always nice to have rain. In 1974 it rained most of October and I never had scientific proof but with in three year most of our range lands were covered with broom snake weed. Last year we revived a lot of fall rain and driving around Eddy, Lea and C haves counties I have noticed an abundance of flowering broom snake weed. This is something we may want to be watching for the next few years. There was a great article written about boll weathering by Dr. Kater Hake et. al. in 1992 it can be seen at https://www.cotton.org/tech/physiology/cpt/fiberquality/upload/CPT-Nov92-REPOP.pdf Nothing you most likely did not know it hurts the bottom line when the price is already low.
