Cotton is planted by seeds in furrows in the spring months. A green bushy plant develops with white flowers. It grows all summer and in the early fall the plant is killed off leaving the cotton bolls in the field. If it rains at this time the white cotton boll turns yellow and this will bring down the value of the cotton. The farmer picks the cotton using a machine called a cotton picker and the picked cotton goes into a cotton trailer. It takes about 3 times through the field to get all the cotton. The full trailer is taken to a gin processed and seeds removed . The cotton is packed into large bales and are sold this way.
