While grain and soybean farmers have to decide which of two crop subsidy programs, cotton growers have a choice all their own – the Supplemental Coverage Option or the Stacked Income Protection Plan known as STAX, says Delta Farm Press. STAX is a revenue protection plan written into the farm bill expressly for cotton to help bring the U.S. farm plan into compliance with a World Trade Organization ruling on cotton subsides. SCO is available to grain and soybean growers as well as cotton producers. The Delta Farm Press story provides examples of how each option would work and the expenses that growers are likely to face.
