On a recent visit to one of the LQS I talked with the owner who informed me that the U.S. no longer grows cotton for fabric. Her comment was that it is all grown and processed in China. I told her that I thought the U.S. was still growing cotton in the South to which she replied, "yes, but it is not fabric grade cotton." Like a lot of other things, there must be different grades and qualities.

I know that bamboo can be grown in U.S. because I have seen it and also read that it is hard to control once it has been planted. Does the U.S. harvest and produce "cotton" from any bamboo grown in this country? Just curious?
