Boll weevil
No. Cotton is a busy plant that when the cotton bolls open it is killed off to get the raw cotton. This time of year a spray is used to kill the plant and then cotton picker machines go through the fields to pick the raw cotton.
Cotton is a bushy plant that is grown in different parts of the United States. In CA we plant our cotton by seed in the early spring and it grows all summer. The cotton plant has a flower that blooms and this flower becomes a cotton boll. The cotton boll is picked in late fall with a mechanical cotton picker. Before this can be done the plant has to be killed and this is done through a chemical application sprayed on the plant. After the plant is dead the machine goes through the field pulling the cotton off the boll. This takes several times to get all the cotton and it is put into big trailers that hold the loose picked cotton. It is then taken to a cotton gin where it is ginned, the seeds removed and baled. The seeds are used to plant the next year for the new crop of cotton.

Cotton is grown in areas that have hot weather and a cotton field has no shade. To be able to pick the cotton from the plant the plant is killed first. The plant is a low growing shrub like plant and when dead the cotton bolls open. Until cotton picking machines were invented people would hand pick the cotton off the plant. It doesn't come off easy and raw cotton is itchy and rather prickly, and it takes some effort to get it off. There are several bolls per plant. The picked cotton was put in bags that the person wore so as they moved through the field the bag would get heavier and drag. The base of the plant may also hide snakes and other living things.
Cotton. Cotton is a plant and every fall the plant is killed so the cotton boles can be picked. Big machines go through the cotton field picking the cotton and it is put in cotton trailers. From the field the trailer is taken to the cotton gin where the cotton is processed, seeds removed, and baled. The cotton then goes to various places to be sold for fabric and other things that cotton is used in.

Cotton fibers come from the seedpods of the cotton plant, which contain the fluffy white fibers that are harvested and spun into yarn or thread for making textiles. The fibers are composed mostly of cellulose and are known for their softness, breathability, and absorbent qualities.
naturalCotton comes from plants that first flower and then form into bolls that contain the raw cotton. About this time of year the plant is killed and the bolls open. When this happens a machine called a cotton picker comes through the field and takes the raw cotton off the plant. Usually it takes about 4 times to get all of the cotton. In the first weeks of Nov. the cotton plant is plowed under to prevent the boll worm of establishing a hold. The raw cotton is taken to a gin where it is baled and then sold.no, crop
