# Expect to See Higher Cottonseed Availability this Year

> The USDA's December cotton and wool outlook estimates US cotton production at 18.3 million bales, up 25% from 2020. Whole cottonseed supply is projected to be about 1 million tons higher than last year, mainly from Texas. Dairy and beef producers can expect more whole cottonseed to be available.

## Why it matters

A larger cottonseed supply adds feed-ingredient availability for dairy and beef rations, which can weigh on cottonseed meal prices. The increase is tied to better Texas growing conditions rather than a demand shift.
