Allied Partners Stay Committed To Cotton
Tommy Horton
Earlier this fall, I had the opportunity to attend Bayer CropScience's global press conference in Monheim, Germany. This is a yearly event where the company reviews the previous season, discusses its portfolio of products being commercially released while also making a projection on next year's business outlook.
It's a rare chance to view how a global company operates and views its involvement in agriculture. After sitting through the press conference and observing how Bayer's top leadership answered questions from nearly 100 ag journalists in attendance, and after going on several tours of the company's expansive research facilities, a couple of facts became quite clear.
Chemical and seed companies remain committed to cotton – no matter how difficult the current economic environment. If U.S. cotton producers can find any shred of positive news during this wet and rainy harvest season, it's this statement. Bayer and the rest of the companies who sell crop protection products and seed varieties to U.S. farmers haven't scaled back their commitment to the industry. In fact, the opposite trend is what really exists at the moment.
