Ronny Jackson Introduces Cotton Legislation
District 13 Congressman Ronny Jackson has introduced the Agriculture Infrastructure Stability Act, creating a critical lifeline for the cotton industry. The Cotton Industry has struggled in recent years due to decreased production and increased financial insolvency of downstream cotton infrastructure operations. This bill would prompt the U.S. Department of Agriculture Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to develop a crop insurance policy to help cotton producers manage increased risks associated with harvesting crops that were failed in the early growing season, ensuring additional volumes are processed throughout the cotton industry supply chain.
Representative Jodey Arrington is a Co-Sponsor on this legislation.
