Abstract: The strong economic performance of the U.S. cotton industry has been widely attributed to the 1985 Food Security Act (1985 FSA). These effects have been substantive. However, the devaluation of the dollar relative to other currencies was also important and its effects were substantial and roughly equal to those of the 1985 FSA.
