MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The National Cotton Council (NCC) is deeply concerned about a potential government shutdown, which threatens to remove critical services from cotton producers already facing tremendous economic pressures.
"A government shutdown would directly disrupt vital programs like the marketing loan, halt the processing of ARC-PLC benefits, and impede our producers' access to critical markets and cash flow," says NCC Chairman Patrick Johnson. "The bottom line is a shutdown of the federal government would deliver an additional blow to farmers already navigating immense challenges."
The NCC encourages Congress and the Administration to agree on a continuing resolution that avoids a shutdown and ensures the continuity of essential support for American agriculture.
