Cottonseed Quality Down Due To Extreme Wet Conditions |
2003-1-23 9:45:00
Cotton regions report that cottonseed quality has been adversely affected due to the extreme wet harvest season. Elevated levels of free fatty acid (FFA) in the seed, associated with high moisture content, greatly diminish the seed's crushing value. Typically, FFA levels above 1.8% in cottonseed render it unacceptable for crushing. Reports indicate that there is seed with significantly higher FFA levels and extremely low seed values at the oil mill.
