I live in the Florida Panhandle.
Probably more peanuts than cotton but still see quite a bit. When I was a kid, I picked it for 3 cents a pound. My Uncle would pay us when he sold it at the gin.
Now they do it by machine. I see these huge bricks of cotton covered with tarps. I will say one thing for us tho. The machine leaves a whole lot more in the field than we did.
I had never seen cotton fields before I started vacationing in the panhandle. I saw them as I drove south on SR 71 toward Port St Joe. They are beautiful.
