What the document says
“shall be adjusted to United States quality and location, with the adjustment to include the average costs to market the commodity, including average transportation costs, as determined by the Secretary; and”
The section inserts a new paragraph (3) into subsection (e) of section 1204 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 requiring the prevailing world market price for extra long staple cotton to be adjusted to United States quality and location, with the adjustment including average marketing costs and average transportation costs as determined by the Secretary. The subsection heading is also amended to name extra long staple cotton.
What the document actually says
“shall be adjusted to United States quality and location, with the adjustment to include the average costs to market the commodity, including average transportation costs, as determined by the Secretary; and”
That sentence, in plain words
The world price must be fixed up to match United States cotton. It must also match where that cotton sits. The fix includes the cost of getting it to market.
What this is about
Cotton grown elsewhere may be of a different grade. Shipping costs differ too. The adjustment puts the price on the same footing.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
