Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) enters into Cotton Storage Agreements (CSA) with private individuals and companies to allow warehouse operators to store cotton owned by CCC or pledged as security to CCC for marketing assistance loans.
Warehouse operators wanting a Cotton Storage Agreement are encouraged to review the regulations and guidelines and agreement documents.
To be approved to store CCC-owned or loan cotton, warehouse operators must:
- Submit an application to the Storage Contract Branch, Kansas City Commodity Office (KCCO).
When a warehouse is approved, CCC adds the warehouse to a List of Approved Cotton Warehouses which is provided to local FSA offices. Producers must store commodities in warehouses on this listing to obtain warehouse-stored marketing assistance loans.
The Approved Cotton Storage Agreement Warehouse listing is located in the Cotton Online Processing System (COPS). Follow these instructions once you are at the COPS logon page.
