Unofficial crop figures hint 90% cotton support next year
Unofficial data show cotton supports likely at 90 percent of parity for 1955 with possible continuation into 1956 under a new farm act. The formula ties support to the ratio of total to normal supply, with a 108 percent cap. Current estimates place total supply near 18 million bales versus 17.5 million normal, supporting 90% as long as the ratio stays at or below 108 percent.
