Nine million acres over seven years is pretty damn big step. Just a 60%
incerase. Farmers are pretty conservitive folks. They don't change fast.
They work out the problems and test things for several years before going
whole hog for it. No till won't really take off in cotton until the next
generation of RR cotton comes out in 2004 or 2005 that can be sprayed any
time during the season.
