Title: ●Cotton Research and Promotion Program: Designation of Cotton-Producing States (CN--08-003) 
Abstract: The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 on May 22, 2008, amended the Cotton Research and Promotion Act and designated the States of Kansas, Virginia, and Florida individually in the definition of "cotton-producing State" effective with the 2008 crop of cotton. The major effect of this change is that any cotton producer organization within a cotton-producing State may request the Secretary of Agriculture for certification to participate in nominating members and alternate members to represent such State on the Cotton Board.
