8月15日开始，
山东省德州市今年植棉面积68万亩，比去年减少45万亩，减幅40%。今年7、8月份当地干旱少雨，沟壑无水，虽然对棉花生长略有影响， 但对棉花吐絮十分有利。病虫害较轻发生。预计当地
德州地区多为自种地，直接种植成本每亩约560元左右，其中：机耕、耙地、松地75元，棉种50元，播种15元，地膜25元，化肥270 元，水费30元，农药80元，拔棉柴15元。 若租地，租地费少的每亩每年500元，多的1000元。 若雇人管理棉花，每亩用工22个左右，若按每人每天工钱50元计算，每亩人工费1100元（包括了雇人拾花用工费）。 按今年籽棉产量每亩520斤、每斤3.4元/斤计算，产值152 0173 3840元。若自种，不算人工费，减去直接成本后，收益每亩1200元左右。若减去人工费，每亩 收益100元左右；若租地，每亩亏损400-900元。从目前已摘拾的籽棉看，质量较好，估计籽棉衣分在38%左右。
Shandong Province in 2014 cotton cotton area is expected to 7000000 acres, down more than 20%, of which Dezhou, Heze, Jining fell more than 30%, around Binzhou, Dongying, fall 15%.
