No Ill-Advised Changes
Mark Lange

The U.S. cotton industry staunchly opposes the cotton policy changes and budget cuts proposed in the Obama Administration's 2010 budget request.
How was this concern relayed?
First, the National Cotton Council joined 42 commodity, general farm, banking, cooperative, conservation and crop insurance organizations in a letter to the House Appropriations Committee, urging no inclusion of FY10 appropriations bill provisions that would amend the new farm law. The NCC alone wrote that panel's Cotton Belt Members to remind them that farm programs must be predictable, logical and helpful to producers when prices are low and they most need help. The NCC's letter noted many of the Administration's budget recommendations violate these principles and likewise urged them not to use that appropriations bill to amend farm law.
