The company pays 15 cents a pound but delivers payment in script and market-secured notes, risking nonpayment if cotton is not sold. Moose notes Blue Sky Law covers investments, not this firm, and urges farmers to avoid the arrangement to prevent further state business, as the firm may leave the state if shunned.
