The National Cotton Council (NCC), with support from the California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association, is conducting a series of information meetings across the Cotton Belt to provide cotton producers, industry firms, and agri-businesses with crucial information regarding the 2025 Farm Bill provisions passed in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. These meetings are open to all interested parties and are designed to ensure the industry is well-informed about the new law’s impact.  “Understanding the intricacies of the new farm program provisions is vital for the continued success and stability of the U.S. cotton industry,” said NCC Chairman Patrick Johnson. “We encourage all involved to attend one of these important meetings to gain valuable insights and ask questions.”

The meetings will cover key aspects of the new farm bill provisions, offering attendees an opportunity to learn directly from experts and engage in discussions about its implications for their operations.  All times are local. The NCC looks forward to welcoming attendees and providing valuable information to help navigate the new farm program landscape.
