	Farm Bill Cotton Provisions Reviewed in Report to NCPA
		Cotton prices at the farmgate were negatively impacted by the combination of a sluggish U.S. and world economy, a strong dollar, China?s cotton policies, an overabundance of cheap manmade fibers, unused textile capacity, and weak prices for alternative crops.

		Cotton producers already are doing much to help conserve and improve our natural resources, including conservation tillage practices, integrated pest management, and use of transgenic varieties to cut pesticide use (71% of cotton in 2002).
		The farm bill is designed to extend opportunities for every farmer and rancher to reach his or her conservation goals.
		The much bally-hooed 75 percent cost-share level authorized in the farm bill may become the rarity, not the norm as we tailor the level of cost share to the particular practice and what it achieves.

		As prices for cotton are raised, that makes it harder for textile mills to compete against those in foreign countries where the industry to some extent has governmental support.

	Updating cotton bases a consideration
		Speaking at the Southeast Cotton Conference, Blake Brown, North Carolina State Extension ag economist, gave examples of how updating bases could benefit producers, offered an outlook for the coming year and talked about the issues that could push cotton prices higher in the next five years of the farm bill.
		Using a cotton price of 52 cents per pound and updated yields of 670, a farmer could expect to get a $78 counter-cyclical payment for base acres.
		With cotton prices starting to make an upward move, the national average price would have to go over 65 cents per pound before the counter-cyclical payments of six and two-thirds cents per pound would disappear.
