MGR-26-004: 2025 Crop Year Abnormal Cotton Ginning Delays in Texas and Oklahoma
BACKGROUND:
In areas of Texas and Oklahoma, an increase in planted cotton acreage and subsequent high cotton yields have caused abnormal delays in the completion of the ginning process of harvested cotton production for the 2025 crop year. As a result, many cotton insureds in these two states will not have gin records of their 2025 cotton crop available by the Insured’s Production Reporting Date (IPRD).
