Wow, so now we need to have a cotton field-gleaning bus trips for the sewing & quilting guilds; sort of like a shop-hop. How many of us could really "take" the work required to do it? I know I am past being capable of much farm field work...maybe I could send my kids 13 to 21. Yeah...good life experience for them. A little reality check would give many in their generation some life-changing food-for-thought.
