Cotton Farmers Protest NH 44, Demand CCI Relax Moisture Limit

Farmers who grow cotton are upset because recent bad weather has made their cotton too wet to sell to a big company called CCI.

This company has a rule that cotton can only have a certain amount of wetness.

The farmers want the company to accept cotton that is wetter than usual, so they can get a fair price.

They also want the company to buy more cotton from each farm.

The farmers protested on a highway to get attention, blocking traffic.

They are worried that if the rules aren't changed, they will have to sell their cotton for less money to other buyers.
