Ah, makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation. Didn't know how cotton marketing worked.
One more question, did a little reading on cotton over the weekend and ran into something else. What are "certified bales" and what would cause the USDA to "un-certify" those bales. Read on one report that they un-certified something like 40,000 bales of cotton??? Is there a minimum quality standard?
