eastland said the 40 year-old cotton research and promotion program has helped the bottom line of every cotton producer in the united states, and it also generates positive returns for the entire cotton-apparel production chain. the program generates about $60 million per year that is used for research and promotion of cotton and cotton textiles and apparel.
the cotton research and promotion program also is facing a legal challenge. the program is subject to a lawsuit filed in the u.s. court of international trade and an administrative challenge filed with usda.
eastland noted that while the cotton industry is pleased with the beef decision, "each of these legal challenges will be determined on their own merits."
