This week’s Cotton Newsline is 3 cuts. All cuts are Dr. Gary Adams, Vice-President of Economics and Policy Analysis for the National Cotton Council.
Suggested introduction cut 1:

Suggested introduction cut 2:
Adams says the lack of movement in the Senate creates even more uncertainty for producers who are trying to plan for the 2008 planting season.
Suggested introduction cut 3:
Adams believes an extension of the 2002 Farm Bill would be a last resort.
