Broadcast Newsline: August 11, 2010

This week’s Cotton Newsline is 4 cuts.  All cuts are Gary Adams, vice president of economics and policy analysis for the National Cotton Council.

Suggested Introduction 1:
Earlier this week the Congressional Quarterly Publication published a rather lengthy article on cotton.  Gary Adams, vice president of economics and policy analysis for the National Cotton Council says it focused on the ongoing dispute with Brazil and some of the dynamics within Congress.

Suggested Introduction 2:
Adams says the article was a very biased and one sided look at US cotton policy and the US cotton industry.

Suggested Introduction 3:
Adams says the article also distorted the role of U.S. cotton and the world market.

Suggested Introduction 4:
Adams points out that articles of this nature tend to be published as Congress approaches the early stages of development of the next farm bill.
