      abstract = {This report address considerations in the 1995 farm bill  debate for cotton, including market conditions, policy  proposals, trade agreements, and the interactions between  policy and markets for selected commodities. The Food  Security Act of 1985, and subsequent cotton marketing loan  modifications, are analyzed, as they formed the basic  provisions of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and  Trade Act of 1990. Cotton provisions of the 1990 Act  attempted to ensure that cotton remained competitive in  domestic and world markets. Program performance is  discussed, including the effects on producers, consumers,  and taxpayers. Important issues and policy options to be  addressed during the 1995 farm bill debates are presented.  Background information is also provided on the  characteristics of the U.S. cotton industry including  current trends in production, consumption, and foreign  trade. Financial aspects of the cotton sector including  prices, costs, and producer returns give additional  perspective and understanding to the report.},
