Various Methods of Supporting the Price of Cotton

United States Department of Agriculture

No 364773, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Report Preface: This report describes a variety of alternative programs for supporting cotton prices. It also makes rough estimates of the relative effects of each type of program upon cotton acreage and production, domestic consumption, exports, cost to the Government, and income to cotton growers. The report is not intended as an argument for or against any of the alternative programs that were analyzed. Rather, it is a factual statistical analysis to provide the Congress certain basic estimates that it requested. The Department hopes, of course, that these estimates will be helpful as part of the material to be considered in developing a program that will further the long term interests of cotton growers and the general public.
