The
National Cotton Council (NCC) has scheduled 49 education meetings in 15
Cotton Belt states to provide its members with a greater understanding
of The Agricultural Act of 2014.
The
first four meetings will be held February 24 and 25 in South Texas. The
others will be conducted during the period of March 17-25.
NCC
President/CEO Mark Lange said, "This new five-year comprehensive farm
law includes fundamental changes in cotton's safety net, a greater
reliance on crop insurance products, and will be implemented over the
2014 and 2015 crops. As with previous farm laws, some of this
legislation's provisions are complex, and the Council wants to provide
our members with the insight necessary for them to plan accordingly. All
producers, cotton industry firms and agribusinesses are encouraged to
attend any of these important meetings."
The schedule of meetings listed by state is (all times local):
North Carolina
Fayetteville – March 18, 9:00 a.m.
DoubleTree Hotel – Garden Room, 1965 Cedar Creek Road
Greenville – March 17, 3:00 p.m.
Hilton Hotel – Carolina Ballroom A, 207 SW Greenville Boulevard
