Plan to overhaul U S farm policy targets cotton at 60 cent base
Plains Cotton Growers hail a House Ag Committee framework as a base for a broader reform. The proposal keeps loan rates near 51.92 cents for cotton, but PCG seeks 60 cents. It outlines fixed decoupled payments at 5.54 cents, 72.9 cent cotton target price, and a counter cyclical scheme while cost estimates run to about 168 billion over 2002-2011 with 73.5 billion in new spending. Redistricting plan by Texas AG Cornyn would add a rural district at Harris County’s expense, risking rural voices in the Legislature.
