Best Answer

A cotton picker goes through the rows of cotton picking off the cotton from the opened boles after the plant is killed by the farmer. It can clean the plant of all cotton with several passes through the rows. It usually takes about 3-4 days to clean a field. The cotton that is picked is placed in a special container that can be taken to the cotton gin to be processed and bailed. More cotton can be grown because of the cotton picker and more plants can be picked clean by the machine. Even though, the cotton picker has allowed more cotton to be grown the amount that is grown ( at least in CA) is less. Many planters are taking out cotton and putting in fruit trees as well as other crops.
