Subject
2015 Price B for Cotton Quality Adjustment
Background
Consistent with the Special Provisions statement in lieu of section 10(d)(1) of the Upland and ELS Cotton Crop Provisions, Price B will be established by adding premiums or discounts associated with the predominant cotton quality characteristics as determined by the Farm Service Agency (FSA) to the Upland and ELS Cotton National Average Loan Rate. The predominant quality characteristics of cotton in each state are determined from the most recent three years of Agricultural Marketing Service cotton classing data.
Action
Approved Insurance Providers must use the applicable Price B for quality adjustment purposes from the attached Upland and ELS Cotton Quality tables for the 2015 crop year.
