MEMPHIS -- The National Cotton Council has consistently recognized that a new multi-year farm bill is the way to achieve a final resolution of the cotton portions of the longstanding trade dispute with Brazil.
The industry urges Congress to move forward expeditiously after the August recess to finalize new farm legislation. It is imperative for upland cotton's Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX) to be implemented for the 2014 crop and for the new legislation to serve as the basis for resolving the trade dispute.
