Senate Backs Johnson On Cotton Subsidy
The Senate approved a plan to add a direct cotton subsidy to the farm bill, setting next year’s government price around 21 cents per pound and boosting grower returns to about 29 to 36 cents per pound. The move favors the Johnson administration and aligns with the Talmadge amendment, contrasting with Ellender’s single-price approach. Senators from textile states weighed in on price impacts for mills and exports.
