Cotton holds ground amid varied 1975 outlook
Texas A&M economist Charles Baker notes a mixed 1975 cotton picture despite lower plantings and reduced world consumption. Upland acreage in the U.S. may drop 30 percent from 1974, Texas plantings down about 19 percent, with March 1 Texas prospects at 4.3 million acres and national plantings over four million acres lower. The 38 cent loan floor and 34.27 cent loan price loom as the government’s farm bill debate ends, potentially stabilizing prices if demand improves.
