Agriculture Department Praises Cotton Growers Advice
The Agriculture Department says its summer advice to withhold cotton from the market boosted growers’ profits. With the 1951 crop largely sold, officials credit the strategy for lifting prices after a drop from about 44.37 to 34 cents per pound. Critics argued the plan amounted to a strike, but department records show producers heeded the guidance and raised farmers’ earnings by over 100 million dollars.
