      abstract = {Excerpts from the report Summary: The total cost of  producing the U.S. crop of upland cotton in 1964 was 28.4  cents per pound of lint.  This total cost figure includes  market rates of return to all inputs used.  The total  direct cost of producing cotton (this excludes payments to  land and farm overhead items) was 21.6  cents per pound of  lint.  About 64 percent of U.S. cotton was produced at a  total cost of less than 30 cents per pound of lint, whereas  about 88 percent was produced at a direct cost of less than  30 cents per pound of lint.  Thirty cents is a close  approximation of the 29. 3 cents per pound of lint received  by survey respondents in 1964.  The 1964 costs reported in  this study are the result of aggregation and analysis of  data on production inputs and prices obtained from  interviews of 5,200 cotton farmers in the 18 major  cotton-producing regions.  These costs are associated with  an average yield of 540 pounds of lint per acre, which  reflects generally favorable weather conditions in most of  the 18 regions in 1964.},
