If you could lock in these high cattle prices right now, and sell your cattle a year from now would you? You can! The best part is, that if you lock in the price, and the price goes even higher, you get the actual market price, not the price you locked in.

Important news for cotton farmers ⬇️

Alabama cotton growers are encouraged to contact their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office given recent changes to Stacked Income Protection Program (STAX) coverage, Agriculture Risk Program (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) options.

Signed into law July 4, the One, Big Beautiful Bill resulted in updated reference prices applying to the 2025 crop year. Normally, cotton farmers who selected the STAX coverage option were not eligible for enrollment in Agriculture Risk Program (ARC) or Price Loss Coverage (PLC). However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) acknowledges these farmers may have taken the PLC option instead had they known Congress would adjust the reference prices for the 2025 crop year.

Farmers wishing to enroll their seed cotton base acres in PLC for the 2025 crop year should contact their local FSA office by the late enrollment deadline of Tuesday, Sept. 30.
