Deferred Appraisals Spark Plan for Cotton Rate Change
Plains Growers officials question why RMA revisits a deferred appraisal fix and hints at shortening the late planting period for Texas counties. The proposed PCG RMA compromise would allow appraisal at the end of the 15 day late planting window for timely planted cotton and add an 8 day deferred period for post final planting, while raising concerns about implementation for 2005.
