Castleberry

This is our first year over here, but, uh, we had a pretty good looking crop here and, uh, it kind of got smoked.

Ricky Wiggins feels the cotton crop he's growing here in Castleberry, Alabama is about to bloom.

Then came Hurricane Isaias.

Now he and other people in this region are picking up the pieces, trying to see what can be saved and what help they need to recover.

We need the Buy, Buy American Cotton Act passed.

That will incentivize manufacturers, retailers in the United States of America to, the, it gives them a tax incentive if they buy American-made cotton, American-grown cotton.

And speaking of storm issues, some good news for those affected by the hurricane.
