Stenholm criticizes loan discount weighting for cotton
Stenholm argues the USDA used a two to one weighting this year to set loan differentials, a sharp shift from the prior five to ten to one range since 1972. He says Texas farmers face harsher burden amid low mike cotton, a freak 1979 Texas year, and a 2.23 cent drop in base loan rate, urging reversal.
