> An insurance adjuster zeroed out a southwest Oklahoma cotton farm in mid-October after drought and record September heat, the hottest in the region since 1931. Rain arrived in October but too late to save the crop, and the farmer plans to reduce dryland cotton acres for 2027.

## Why it matters

Local cotton failure cuts supply of cottonseed, a feed input, though a single farm is a small share of U.S. output. Reduced cotton acreage could tighten whole cottonseed and cottonseed meal supply over time.
