Cotton price set for higher grower returns this season
Washington officials say domestic demand and export prospects could push grower prices above 10 cents a pound by spring, aided by a new government loan plan allowing farmers to withhold part of this year’s crop. If demand holds, about 13.5 million bales could be needed, though this year’s crop of 11.1 million bales is short. A further 3 million bales may enter the loan pool, risking a future shortage of “free” cotton not loaned or moved to consumption and exports.
