MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The National Cotton Council (NCC) appreciates the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) “One Farmer, One File” modernization initiative, announced by Secretary Rollins at the Commodity Classic in San Antonio, Texas. This technological improvement aims to create a single, streamlined record for farmers across USDA agencies, with the goal of significantly reducing administrative burden and improving efficiency.
“This streamlined approach across the Farm Service Agency, Natural Resource Conservation Service, and Risk Management Agency will allow cotton producers to spend less time on redundant paperwork and more time focused on their fields,” said Nathan Reed, NCC Chairman. “It’s an investment in efficiency that directly benefits the productivity of U.S. cotton farmers.”
NCC looks forward to collaborating with the USDA as they implement this new initiative.
