TCGA Concludes 'Upbeat' Meeting
Tommy Horton
Serious WTO Case
Even with the good start to the planting season in Texas, Williams says TCGA members continue to monitor other events that can have an impact on the ginning sector. Specifically, he is referring to the ongoing WTO Brazil case, which has resulted in recent negotiations between the United States and Brazil.
"It is still alarming that our country is helping Brazil's cotton industry to the tune of $147 million," says Williams. "I think a lot of us still fear that Brazil will have some kind of influence on the writing of the 2012 Farm Bill. I'm still confident that the National Cotton Council and other ag organizations can offer leadership on that situation."
He also points to other issues such as air quality, immigration and labor as major topics that will remain a priority for TCGA in the next year.
