Default Cotton fabric -

Specifically, the type of woven cotton that the majority of quilt makers use -

Is there an article or video that shows all the steps involved from preparing the soil for planting the cotton to when a bolt of fabric ends up on a store/shop shelf?

Where is cotton grown? Are some cotton fibers better than others? Does cotton seed come in varieties like green bean seed?

Are the any mills left in the United States? for processing the cotton, for weaving it, for dying it?
