Participant Grower Benefits

As a fourth-generation cotton grower, I’m excited to do my part to help ensure the future of U.S. cotton and I’m proud to be among the first growers to support and join the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol®, which sets a new standard for responsibly grown cotton. I look forward to using the tools and insights provided by the Trust Protocol to help further my own sustainability efforts and to produce the best cotton possible for U.S. cotton consumers across the globe.

The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol®, with its unique reporting and tracking system, represents another major advancement in that regard. By demonstrating the sustainability progress we have collectively achieved, we can give brands and retailers the confidence they need to continue purchasing U.S. cotton. Joining the Trust Protocol will help ensure that our industry will remain competitive and that the U.S. will continue to be a leader when it comes to responsible growing practices.

As a grower who believes in being a good steward of the land, I firmly believe we can do more to reduce our soil and water use, improve our energy conservation measures and tackle the tough issues of greenhouse gases and protecting wildlife habitats. These are priorities that transcend individual farms, but if we work together through the Trust Protocol, our grower community can and will make great strides on these critical objectives.
