Cotton Seed for West Texas & the High Plains
Cotton remains one of the most important crops grown across the High Plains, and choosing the right variety can make a major difference in yield potential, fiber quality, and overall field performance. From irrigated production to tough dryland acres, Jack Seed & Supply offers quality cotton seed to fit a variety of growing conditions and management programs.
Â
We work with cotton producers throughout the Lubbock area, Amarillo area, West Texas, the Texas Panhandle, Eastern New Mexico, and the Oklahoma Panhandle to help match cotton varieties with their acres, irrigation capacity, maturity needs, and production goals.
Dryland Cotton
Dryland cotton requires varieties capable of performing when moisture is limited and growing conditions become challenging. We offer cotton seed with agronomic characteristics suited for dryland production, helping growers match maturity, plant characteristics, and yield potential to their environment.
Irrigated Cotton
Irrigated acres provide an opportunity to push cotton yield and fiber quality when the right genetics and management practices come together. Our cotton selection includes varieties suited for irrigated production systems across West Texas and the High Plains.
Limited Irrigation Cotton
Many High Plains cotton acres fall somewhere between full irrigation and true dryland production. Selecting a variety that can use available water efficiently while maintaining strong performance under stress can be especially important in limited-irrigation systems.
Cotton Herbicide Technologies
Herbicide technology is an important part of cotton variety selection. We offer cotton varieties with different weed-control technology packages, allowing growers to select seed that works with their herbicide program, resistance-management strategy, and overall production system.
Yield Potential
Yield potential is an important consideration when comparing cotton varieties, but it should be evaluated alongside field conditions and management intensity. Matching variety characteristics to your environment can help create a more consistent production system across your farm.
Fiber Quality
Cotton production isn’t only about pounds per acre. Staple length, strength, micronaire, uniformity, and other fiber characteristics can influence crop value. Selecting genetics with a strong balance of yield and fiber quality can help growers maximize the potential of their crop.
Maturity & Plant Characteristics
Cotton varieties differ in maturity, plant growth habits, storm tolerance, and other agronomic characteristics. Choosing the right maturity can be especially important across the High Plains, where the length of the growing season and timing of fall weather can influence crop development.
Insect & Disease Protection
Variety selection can play an important role in managing insect and disease pressure. Depending on the variety, different trait packages and disease tolerances may be available to help growers build a cotton production program suited to their fields.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cotton Seed
What cotton seed do you carry?
We offer cotton varieties for dryland, limited-irrigation, and irrigated production systems. Available varieties and trait packages can vary by season.
What is the best cotton variety for West Texas?
There isn’t one variety that’s best for every West Texas field. The right choice depends on irrigation capacity, soil type, planting date, maturity needs, herbicide program, and production goals.
What should I look for when comparing cotton varieties?
Consider yield consistency, fiber quality, maturity, herbicide and insect traits, disease tolerance, plant characteristics, and performance under conditions similar to your own operation.
Should I use cotton trial data when selecting seed?
Yes. Local and regional trial data can provide valuable information about how varieties perform across different environments. It’s generally best to consider results from multiple locations and years rather than relying on a single trial.
Can you help me choose cotton seed for dryland or irrigated acres?
Absolutely. Our team can help compare cotton varieties based on your irrigation level, field conditions, management program, and production goals.
