Cotton Research Fund Cut Could Eliminate Shafter Breeding
Proposed USDA budget shifts threaten 243000 in Shafter Cotton Research Station funds, eliminating the Acala breeding program and affecting California growers. Dr. H B Cooper warns $130000 would depart and $113000 redirected to new programs, risking local jobs and state seed distribution. FCCSPD and UC funding implications loom large as talks proceed through House and Senate.
