Senate panel okays money bill with cotton and soil bank tweaks
The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a $7.0 billion supplemental bill including a $250 million increase for soil bank farm benefits and a 12 to 9 vote on an amendment to boost cotton acreage this year. Cotton farmers could withdraw from the soil bank to raise black cotton by 30 percent if they forgo price supports on the additional crop. Committee Chair Breeden said growers and manufacturers back the move amid a cotton shortage for mills. The House earlier passed similar soil bank legislation enabling up to $750 million in payments to underplanted crops like cotton and wheat. The bill aims to fund federal farming payments for surplus crops under caps set last year.
