How was cotton produced?

Cotton is from a cotton plant. It is grown in huge fields and the plants get fairly large. About this time of year the grower sprays the plant with salt or sometimes a defoliation chemical ( it stinks) and the plant dies. When this happens the cotton bolls open and a machine called a cotton picker can go through the field. If it rains in this time the cotton will turn from white to yellow which will lower the price of the cotton. Once the picker has gone through it will keep going through the filed until it can get no more cotton. The raw cotton is taken to a cotton gin in a big open wagon and processed into cotton bales. The bales are huge and each bale is wrapped in burlap and numbered. The cotton bales are sold at a auction to be made into fabric and other things.
