Was on the way back from Savannah and decided to take a side way through SC cotton field area. Was hoping to see them picking but thought the fields were worth taking a couple pics of.

Had bad timing seemed either they were already picked or not ready yet. Still a beautiful drive!!!!

It will soon be picking time. A defoliant to make the leaves drop is often used. If you are traveling northward from SC and coming anywhere near Greensboro or Winston-Salem I'll be disappointed ifn you don't let me know.

Sorry but hope to get in that area again soon.Realized I don't have a phone # for you.Just email.

Thanks for the foto; cotton here didn't make it again; may be a little in the surrounding counties; but not much from this county. Better and wetter times are coming; we just don't know when. Most of the cotton here is the shorter staple stripper cotton as the water or rain conditions dictate that. Over in Jackson county when the water's availible from Lake Lugert theres a few thousand acres of pikker cotton raised. Hasn't been any picker cotton made it there in the last two years at least. Last time i heard Long staple expences there require a 3&1/2 bale average for breaking even. We jokingly call it snowbank cotton. :lol:
