According to a recent article in Southeast Farm Press, the losses in cotton in North Carolina due to Hurricane Florence vary significantly across the state, but overall the losses may be 25-30 percent of the normal crop. The hardest hit areas were in the southeastern part of the state where both winds and rain and the associated flooding caused major damage. In other areas, damage was lighter, with some bolls blown off the plants, but crops in low-lying areas were probably also a complete loss due to the flooding.
