Cotton program under review as USDA awaits December crop estimate
The U S Department of Agriculture is waiting for the December crop estimate before deciding on revisions to the 1968 cotton program. ASCS head Horace Godfrey cited requests to review the plan and suggested changes that could raise 1968 production, including eliminating the 5 percent mandatory diversion and tightening voluntary diversions. Private forecasts range near 7.2 to 7.5 million bales, with total supply forecast above 20 million. The December estimate will address potential market offtake revisions and concerns over synthetic fiber competition.
