US COTTON TRUST ENROLLMENT OPEN Monday Apr 5th, 2021 News Reporter With your Southeast Regional Ag Report, I'm Trevor Williams. Southern cotton growers might be interested in the new enrollment that is open as part of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol for the 2021 cotton crop. Existing members will also need to re-enroll their operations. The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol sets a new standard for more sustainably grown cotton amid greater demand for transparency. Ted Schneider, U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol Board Member and a Louisiana cotton farmer, says enrollment is simple and easy. “At the end of the year or as your year goes along, you enter your practices into field to market. It all probably takes about two hours during the course of the year.”
