NASS Provision in FY 2022 Spending Package
Mon, 14 Mar 2022 08:52:33 CDT
While agriculture-related provisions of the spending package are still under review, one key item involves directing the National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) to communicate with stakeholders regarding capturing supplemental information for certain crops, like cotton, at an agricultural statistics district (ASD) level estimate of which NASS discontinued without Congressional oversight in 2018.
Addressing cotton ASD level projections for both in-season and end-of-season reporting estimates is a provision prioritized by both Plains Cotton Growers Inc. and the National Cotton Council. We are very appreciative of the leadership led by Chairman Sanford Bishop (D-GA), Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) on this issue.
