Had a great time chatting with @RepGregMurphy about how the BACA sausage is getting made in Congress.

[CottonGrowerMagazine @CottonGrowerMag]

You heard Joe Nicosia lay out the importance of the Buying American Cotton Act at the @farm_gin_show last week. Now hear Congressman Greg Murphy (R-NC), sponsor of the bill, discuss its prospects on Capitol Hill.

Nicosia’s message to growers from the Gin Show this year - “If we don’t compete we will get beat!”

NCC acreage survey, conducted mid-December, suggests 9.85 million acres of US cotton in 2024. NCC Economist Dr. Jody Campeche noted that cotton-to-corn price scenario would suggest higher plantings.

Here at the NCC Annual Meeting General Session this morning in Orlando. Council running through important business, but just had a moment of remembrance for Don Parker, longtime Council and Cotton Foundation servant. Don was a great friend to farmers and CG magazine. May he RIP.

NICOSIA: “If we get into West TX, and it’s dry and they can’t get that crop planted, I think prices are going to explode.”

“...please consider options.”

[Beck_CGMag @Beck_CGMag]

Listening to Joe now. In many ways this address picks right up where last year left off.

Theme in 2020: “Once we get past this new COVID thing, we’re off to races with China.”

Theme today: “Race Day is fast approaching.”

Nicosia:

Cotton prices have caught up to competitive crops (soybeans and corn) since Cotton Grower and NCC acreage surveys were conducted. He expects more US cotton acreage than we projected.
