I look forward to more lessons.mrscravitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008259700267954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979979394487467423.post-40752053950531005942010-10-02T20:17:58.635-05:002010-10-02T20:17:58.635-05:00These are so neat!

To sum it up, turning spindles grab the cotton off the plant, doffers knock the cotton off the spindles, and then the cotton is blown into the basket.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18423029433065907454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979979394487467423.post-68060560010707518272010-09-28T21:34:42.029-05:002010-09-28T21:34:42.029-05:00steph, what a great job you did educating us! i lo...steph, what a great job you did educating us! i love what you did and love how you are teaching us. why are some blooms pink and some white? and i guess the machine that sucks up the plants somehow separates the cotton from the plant material?Kritter Keeper at Farm Tailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289022593889972949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979979394487467423.post-76739547481369728472010-09-28T20:51:51.266-05:002010-09-28T20:51:51.266-05:00Thanks for the videos.

I asked some questions of the farmer and he told me to get up and sit in the seat and run it. I love seeing how other crops are grown & harvested. Around here it's pretty much corn & soybeans.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060722558029419610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979979394487467423.post-27866689691111358732010-09-28T07:32:48.898-05:002010-09-28T07:32:48.898-05:00This took some time!
