Cotton price flaw hurts Oklahoma farmers says AAA plan misleads
The Oklahoma Farmer-Stockman warns cotton growers that the 12 cent guarantee is not a flat rate. The plan pays the difference between the average price on 10 spot markets and 12 cents, minus shipping costs, with typical deductions of about 20 cents per 100 pounds. Farmers may still lose money if they misunderstand the program and sign the adjustment contract.
