Farmers Predict Cotton Price Rise Yet Supply Remains High
In yearly notices, farmers warn of crop failures and price rises while grain planting matches last year. They claim self sufficiency and advocate domestic provisions, yet large sales abroad persist at low prices. The piece critiques cotton policy, noting recurring forecasts of failure fail to move prices, and observes farmers trading away produce for goods. A light joke about a man and his industrious wife ends the item.
