“Where is the cotton coming from??”
They probably have all they need right in Texas. Tech is located in a 16-county area that produces more short-staple cotton than any other part of the US, and a by-product is millions of pounds of below-grade cotton and “moats”...the stuff surrounding the seeds...typically used as filling in pillows, blankets and upholstery. (Ever tear open a padded mailing envelope? Those are moats.) If Texas runs out, there’s tons more sitting in the Mid-South, so there’d be no need to import (assuming the fed pinheads don’t demand they use “organic”, which they just might).
Texas Tech, in Lubbock, is surrounded by high plain cotton fields. The last time I was through there, modules of cotton were lining the turn rows of every field for miles on end. Louisiana is also fairly close and we produce quite a bit of ‘white gold’ here as well. My hubby just planted several hundred acres day before yesterday.
