I agree with you about the greed, but, There really is a cotton shortage this year. I live in the Texas panhandle and there was very little cotton this year due to the drought. My husband works for a John Deere company and they took a loss almost every month due to the lack of farming this past year. All, I can tell you is to make the best of it and Pray, Pray and Pray some more for some good rains and good crops. Just be thankful for what we do have and that we can enjoy something we love to due on some level. We have sooooo much to be thankful for. Praise our Lord for all His blessings.
