Hi all, I was born and grew up in Fresno, CA. I also was a cotton picker. It is not an easy job. No telling what critters you might find, and the cotton is hard to get off the boll. The bags you put them in are HUGH and cotton by itself doesn't weight much, takes a lot of cotton balls to fill a bag. Glad I don't do that anymore. Just like to play with the finished product. Happy quilting all. BrendaK
