They'll just sell it overseas and transportation costs will override anything we purchase anymore. Until they get gas under control everything will be going up. Remember the gas hike a couple of years ago and food prices soared and they never came down and won't....they'll go up again with what gas is costing everyone now. They'll get what they want one way or another as there is always a buyer. Cotton is used for a multitude of things besides quilting cotton.
