Cotton is a busy plant that grows in many parts of the United States. It is planted in early spring and by fall the white flowers that grow on the plant become cotton bolls. When the cotton is ready to pick the grower kills the plant so the bolls will open to show the cotton inside. After the plant is dead a cotton picker ( machine) goes through the rows of cotton and pulls the cotton off the plant. It usually takes about 3-5 times for the picker to get all the cotton. The picked cotton is put into big trailers and taken to a cotton gin where it is processed and the seeds removed. It is then packed into a big bale of cotton and shipped.

The plant makes the fibers in the flower. When fully matured, humans simply pick the fiber from the flowers and clean the seeds and other debris out of it.
