Cotton Promotion Hearing Divided Over Pro and Con
At a Dallas Cotton Council hearing about a proposed CPI funded program, South Plains witness Terry County farmer opposed the plan while others from Lamesa O’Donnell and nearby areas supported it. Proponents argued the plan would broaden markets and unify resources against synthetic fibers, with several Texas and Oklahoma farm groups backing the referendum and financing by growers. The hearing extended into a second day as opponents sought time for more witnesses.
