COTTON: The 2025/26 U.S. cotton balance sheet is revised to show lower production, beginning stocks and ending stocks, with consumption, imports, and exports unchanged from last month. Harvested area is lowered 2 percent to 8.19 million acres following extensive rainfall and delayed planting in the Delta. The national average yield for 2025/26 is reduced more than 1 percent from last month to 820 pounds per harvested acre, also because of the conditions in the Delta.
