slowrollwv Posted September 8, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 8, 2020 Nice pic but did you have to stop just at a wet spot or did you spill something by the bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyJ955 Posted September 8, 2020 Share #3 Posted September 8, 2020 Amazing, love all that space around you. Great pic, looks a tad nippy out there today. It was 101 here 3 days ago, today 3" of snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted September 9, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 9, 2020 I remember them years living in Southwest OK. We came back to town one year from Florida and it was late at nite. They had been harvesting cotton for a week or so since we were gone. There was so much fluff blowing around town by the Gin it looked like it was snowing.

bpate4home Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted September 9, 2020 Nice pic but did you have to stop just at a wet spot or did you spill something by the bike? I didn't even notice that but it was a coincidence. The bike is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looked like frost and snow to me, guessing it's cotton? It was so cold here I thought I was looking at a winter picture haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDawson Posted September 10, 2020 Share #10 Posted September 10, 2020 My grandfather was a cotton farmer way back when it was picked by hand. He and his kids did the work and from the stories I’ve heard he’d go nuts if he looked out in his field and saw cotton still on the plants. I remember as a kid riding with dad through cotton fields and he always mentioned the cotton missed by the automated pickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with today's equipment they farm so much more land they don't mind the missed crops too much. They also loose less to rot/water damage from what I've read.
