Amendment Expands Texas Cotton Allotments Under New Farm Act
Texas farmers face increased cotton allotments as amendments add a 4 percent reserve to state quotas and raise minimums. George Slaughter of Wharton chairs the Texas Air Agricultural Conservation Committee, noting total increases may exceed two million acres. The 1098 starting allotment was 24,300,000 acres, with Texas seeing a sizable rise to support numerous farms facing reduced allocations and to ensure representative allotments. If a farm’s allotment falls below 50 percent of its cotton acreage diverted, the allotment may rise by up to 50 percent, subject to existing limits.
