Austin, TX — The Texas Depart-
ment of Agriculture has announced
that cotton producers in the North-
west Plains Boll Weevil Eradication
Zone have voted to establish a boll
weevil eradication program in the
five-county area. Final results were
1,441 voting “for” and 476 voting
“against” establishing an eradication
program.
In addition, producers in the zone
voted to set a maximum annual as-
sessment for the program not to ex-
ceed $12 per land acre for irrigated
cotton and $5 per land acre for dry-
land cotton.
To officially establish a boll wee-
vil eradicating program in the North-
west Plains Zone and set an assess-
ment, the propositions had to be ap-
proved by a two-thirds vote, or those
voting in favor needed to farm more
than 50percentof the zone’s acreage.
The Texas Department of Agricul-
ture issued 3395 ballots to cotton
producers in the zone who were eli-
gible to vote in the referendum. Some
1,928 valid ballots were postmarked
by the March 12 deadline and
counted.
Cotton producers also elected John
Saylor of Bailey County to represent
the North west Plains .Zone on the
