I dont know but I can tell you that everytime I drive by a mechanically harvested field with my dad, he shakes his head and tells me that his dad, my grandfather, who is long past, would be sick to see all that cotton left in the field and would've beat his and his brothers butts if they had ever left a field like that when they were growing up and picking by hand. My Mawmaw and Pawpaw raised a houseful of cotton pickers. Seven girls and two boys. And to the day mom died she'd say the same thing. She looked at combined fields and said, "good lord can you believe all that wasted cotton"?
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.
