NCC Strongly Urges Passage of Continuing Resolution

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The National Cotton Council (NCC) endorses the Continuing Resolution that includes critical disaster assistance and emergency economic assistance for cotton and other crops. The much-needed economic and disaster relief will help mitigate the financial stress caused by a combination of increased production costs, weakening market prices, and production losses caused by natural disasters. 

NCC Chairman Joe Nicosia stated, "We urge all members of Congress to support the end-of-year spending package so that farmers can receive the additional support they desperately need.”

Nicosia added, “With recognition that the current package does not fully address the needs of all industry segments, we urge the next Congress to move quickly in early 2025 to pass a new farm bill that gives our industry the enhanced long-term support we need.”
