Cotton bill gains support from Louisiana cotton leader
Paul Ransom of Monroe testified for Sen Ellender's cotton bill before the Senate agriculture committee. He backed increasing acreage to 17.5 million and a 10 percent rise in allotments, arguing higher acreage with lower prices and reduced export subsidies could expand domestic and international sales while preserving farmer income. He criticized a New Orleans agriculture official's proxy vote stance.
