Alabama Cotton Producers will go to the polls on Monday, Aug. 11, 2025, to decide whether the state cotton checkoff program should be continued for 10 more years at the current rate of $1 per bale, subject to annual adjustment by the Cotton Commission but in no circumstances to exceed $1.30 per bale. Producers who grew cotton in 2024 or have cotton planted in 2025 will be eligible to vote.
