Cotton Farmers Union Urges Minimum Price in Texas
A Texas Union Bureau report urges steadfast stance amid low cotton prices. It cites a farmer forecasting only one bale per 32 acres due to boll weevil damage and notes many Texas growers may yield one-fourth to one-third of last year’s per-acre output. The piece argues the Farmers Union and Cotton Association correctly set a 29 cent minimum price and condemns speculative selling, urging growers to hold firm and resist high-cost inputs as prices for other goods rise.
