NCC President and CEO Gary Adams

This week’s Open Mic guest is Gary Adams, president and CEO of the National Cotton Council. Like other crop farmers, Adams says cotton farmers are burdened with uncertain input supplies and prices for the new crop year. Adams says infrastructure bottlenecks are also proving a challenge of satisfying market shipments to customers in the U.S. and around the globe. He says growers need predictability from Washington on what crop protection products will be available for the coming season and a realistic definition of the jurisdiction of water and land under the Clean Water Act.
