Premiums for Better Grade Cotton Under Current Plan
Cotton producers are urged by the Director of the Division of Cotton of the AAA to press buyers for premiums on cotton graded better than middling 7-8 inch. Under the loan and price adjustment, growers can gain from premiums for superior grade and longer staple lengths, not merely the base middling price. For Aug 30, higher grade cotton averaged 125 to 130 points above middling 7-8 inch in some markets, with other regions showing similar premiums, meaning premium cotton sold that day should yield more than 12 cents after adjustment payments when compared to the standard. The plan improves on prior loans by covering premium cotton, so farmers should monitor prices at 10 spot markets and insist on premium payments for better product.
