1. At 1:45. that's not a picker, that's a stripper.
2. where are all the black people
3. very interesting
4. nice video I live in north Alabama and when it comes time to harvest cotton I allways love watching it in progress I like the big machinery and the farmers that still work hard for a living
5. Cotton is in the fields at this time. The large bales are only in the field for a short time but the cotton is compacted enough that it does not absorb much rain
6. I can remember people with pick sacks going along side the roads that lead to the cotton gin picking up blown off cotton locks along the the hauling routes . . .. .hard times indeed
7. Messabout1- You are absolutley right about not seeing one shred of cotton on the ground if human hands picked it.

14. Glad you are watching Jim. I spent many of my young days hand picking cotton and pulling corn so I appreciate the modern mechanized machinery, although I left the farm at about age 14.
