Farm Aid Curiosity Boosts Cotton Benefit Shift
The new presidential amendment eliminates planting as a condition for farm subsidies. Cotton growers would receive 2 cents per pound on the 100 acre allotment whether they plant 100 or 0 acres. The plan envisions loan cotton sales at 5 cents per pound to offset nonproduction. If enacted, Southern farmers could profit without cultivating crops, potentially boosting income even with minimal effort.
