Our team is grateful to the RMA for recognizing the needs of agriculture and making this important policy change. This is a meaningful step toward strengthening risk management and helping protect the farmers and agricultural communities that keep our region thriving. We appreciate RMA’s commitment to supporting the future of agriculture!
We’re expanding support for American cotton producers under the Great American Cotton Plan!
Today, Secretary Rollins announced new actions to restore our nation's cotton industry:
🌱 Expanded crop insurance flexibility for the 2027 crop year thanks to President Trump's Working Families Tax Cuts Act
🌍 Trade incentives that encourage key international markets to purchase U.S. cotton by offering preferential tariffs on apparel made with American cotton and textiles.
