Cotton balls are made from which part of the cotton plant?

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.

Depends on the part of the process you are asking about. Cotton comes from a bushy plant whose flowers become cotton bolls. To get the cotton the plant is killed so the bolls open and the cotton picker can go through the fields. At this stage it is the grower who handles the cotton. After the cotton is picked it is put in big wagons and taken to the gin. At the gin it is cleaned, seeds removed, and baled. The person at this stage is a ginner. The bales are sold for manufacturing.

What is raw cotton?

Raw cotton is cotton straight off the plant. Cotton grows on a bushy type of plant that is planted each spring. The plant has flowers on it that become cotton bolls. In the fall the plant is killed , so the cotton can be picked. The bolls open and you have raw unprocessed cotton. A cotton picker goes through the field and gets the raw cotton off of the dead stems. It takes about 3 times before the field is cleaned. The picked cotton is put into big trailers and taken to a cotton gin where the seeds are removed and packed into bales. Raw cotton is dense and can itch when you touch it.

How does cotton go from plant to 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.
