Suggested introduction for cut one:
The 2002 Farm Bill works for U.S. cotton, Woody Anderson, National Cotton Council Chairman, told Congress during the Farm Bill's mid-term review. Anderson's testimony before the House Agriculture Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management applauded the current farm bill as visionary by meeting farmer's needs and satisfying international trade agreements.
Suggested introduction for cut two:
Anderson gave solid examples of how the U.S. cotton industry has benefited from the effectiveness and flexibility of the 2002 Farm Bill.
Suggested introduction for cut three:
Prior to its implementation, critics attacked the 2002 Farm Bill as ammunition to increase farm subsidies. Citing under spending of federal subsidies to date, Anderson noted the 2002 Farm Bill was responsible not careless.
