We appreciate @RepDaleStrong’s support for the Buying American Cotton Act and look forward to working with key Congressional members to grow its support.

The U.S. consumer is the single most powerful force in the global textile market. Yet 90% of the fiber in the products they buy is primarily foreign cotton and oil-based polyester — not American grown cotton. Consumers are largely unaware. The world's largest consumer market should be the world's largest opportunity for U.S. cotton farmers. Industry leaders are working hard with congress to make the Buying American Cotton Act (BACA) a 2026 priority.
