Better Information Leads to Better Decisions

By Berrye Worsham|February 13, 2012

At Cotton Incorporated, we maintain 17 information-rich websites, contribute a wide variety of information to countless others, produce multiple monthly newsletters and make contact with hundreds of people within cotton’s global supply chain every day on cotton’s behalf.

Information supplied through funding and work from Dr. Jeanne Reeves, staff ag economist in our Agricultural and Environmental Science division, can help you make more informed decisions related to your cotton marketing efforts.

Because the Cotton Program is restricted from influencing policy or price, we are careful to explain only matters regarding policy and cotton pricing scenarios. We take the stance of “if this is the policy, then this is the possible effect(s) of that policy on you and your operation.”

This economic information is so valuable it has been cited in Congressional testimony in both the U.S. House and Senate.

From a weekly “Cotton Market Planner Newsletter” and monthly “Cotton Market Comments,” to www.agmarketnetwork.com, where some of our industry’s leading cotton economists tender their opinions and insights, I urge you to capitalize on this available information that can help you make more informed decisions about your cotton marketing.
