The National Cotton Council (NCC) applauds the House of Representatives for advancing its Supplemental Appropriations bill yesterday that includes critically needed policy to restore eligibility for cotton in the Title I ARC/PLC programs of the farm bill.

 

“NCC has been working with Congress for over two years to seek a legislative solution to improve the effectiveness of the cotton safety net in the current farm bill,” said NCC Chairman Ronnie Lee, a Georgia producer and ginner. “Our industry greatly appreciates the strong leadership of Chairman Conaway (R-TX), Chairman Aderholt (R-AL), Ranking Member Bishop (D-GA), Ranking Member Peterson (D-MN), and Rep. Arrington (R-TX) to help advance this important policy through the House.
