Plains Cotton Bill Sparks Mixed Reactions From Growers Merchants
Plains cotton leaders and merchants voiced guarded optimism and sharp warnings about the House Agriculture Committee bill. Wilmer Smith called it a monster, while Roy Forkner and Donald A. Johnson urged caution on direct payments and acreage reductions. Shippers like George H. Traylor Jr. argued for alternative measures to boost exports and reduce government stocks. The debate centers on loan concepts, subsidies, and the bill’s impact on the South Plains and Texas cotton economy.
