How did agriculture become so entrenched in the South?
It began in the beginning with the United States still under British rule. Because of the optimal growing conditions in the South many of the farms and plantations in the colonies were established there. As large cities and factory towns began to gain speed in the North a left-wing mindset began to take over and the industrial revolutions were brought to America. As the population grew in the North the South's crop production soared and as a result the agri - culture was deeply embedded in the South. Due to the fact that not many people wanted to (or knew how to) do anything other than farming no one ever did.
(The fertile soil is probably the big one to look for though)

Cotton grows in a fairly large plant, but to pick the cotton the plant has to be killed so the cotton bolls will open for picking. So, a defoliation takes place and a chemical agent is used to kill the plant. This happens each fall and it has a skunk like smell. After the plant is dead a machine called a cotton picker goes down each row of cotton and pulls the cotton off the plant. Since it all doesn't come off the first time the picker makes several runs for several weeks in the field. If it rains in this time the quality of the cotton goes down for selling. The rain yellows the whiteness of the cotton. After it is picked the picker puts the cotton in big trailers that take the cotton to the gin. At the gin the cotton is cleaned and processed. The seeds are removed and the cotton is put in large bales so it can be taken for auction. When all the cotton is finished in the field the field is plowed under to prevent bollworms.
