Plains Cotton Growers (PCG) delegates spent the weekend at the National Cotton Council (NCC) annual meeting February 10-12, reviewing and approving resolutions to help guide the U.S. cotton industry in 2023.
“It’s important to stay involved,” said Quentin Shieldknight, producer in Hansford County. “We must fight for farmers and our industry, especially considering what the USDA is doing with Phase 2 of the Emergency Relief Program for the 2020 and 2021 crop years. Influencing policy and implementation of legislation comes from involvement in organizations like PCG and NCC.”
PCG President Martin Stoerner, producer in Floyd County is excited for NCC’s advocacy efforts with the 2023 Farm Bill.
“I remember Congressman GT Thompson (R-Pa.) telling us last year to be organized in our priorities, to have a plan and to come with one voice,” Stoerner added. “I think we are in a good position to do that with the NCC. All working together through our national organizations to make sure our priorities are met with this year’s farm legislation.” In today’s newsletter, we recap highlights of the annual meeting, which includes planting conditions across the state, international trade updates, NCC Early Planting Intentions Survey results and new NCC officer team.
