# NCC:  Bring Cotton Back Into Title I Commodity Policy

> The National Cotton Council testified before the Senate Agriculture Committee that cotton should be included in the next farm bill's Title I programs. The NCC said cotton producers have faced low prices and high costs for three years, and that cotton futures have retreated after a brief rise earlier in 2017. Its testimony was given at a committee hearing on risk management tools for the 2018 farm bill.

## Why it matters

Cotton's exclusion from Title I weighs on US cotton farm economics, which can reduce acreage and cottonseed output over time. The hearing is a policy step, not a supply change, so near-term price impact is minimal.
