Yes!!! I heard that too. I heard the prices are going up because how how bad the cotton crops have been.
Not out here...crops looked good !! The price from what I've been told is so much going overseas, that makes no since, we could have more mills here. But I'm not going there:)
Could be a sign someone is thinking economy is turning, and thats not a bad thing!!!
Anywhoo could be the amount of growing less than normal, helping the price.
Just glad to see the farmers have a good year !! Can afford new equipment, then hello steel workers, etc. :)
Just my take....:)
I see unpicked cotton here in GA....................maybe could make my own fabric if they would let me have some cotton--LOL
