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
