First Cotton Bale Harvest of the Season in Alamo, Texas

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 11:44:13 CDT

First Cotton Bale Harvest of the Season in Alamo, Texas Early summer across the Cotton Belt often means weed and disease pressure, but it also signals that coveted first bale of the season. This year Wesley Vanderpool in Alamo, TX harvested that first bale on June 23 at 1,989 lbs of cotton with the Stoneville ST4990 variety. Vanderpool’s harvested bale was then ginned at Willacy Co-Op Gin in Sebastian, Texas by manager Chris Breedlove.


The bale will be auctioned off at the annual First Bale of Cotton Auction and Scholarship Fundraiser happening on September 15 in Harlingen, Texas.
