Don't know much about growing cotton but I do know how to "Pick" it, smile. Grew up in GA with Uncle's who had farms and they always had tobaco and cotton crops. As a family member we all did our share of working with the tobaco and cotton. I "HATED" picking cotton. Would rather sleep on the sheets covered with the picked cotton in the fields. That was the good Ole days. Now everything is done by machines. Ho Hum!
