 Crazy growing season affected the Cotton Harvest. Farmer Horn Brothers usually Harvest right before Halloween, couldn't because of excessive rain after the intense heat.Looks like snow!

Interesting to see cotton field. Pretty. Weather does effect harvests. Thankfully we had dry weather here in Iowa so corn and soybeans could be harvested timely. Prayers for farmers in your area. Good harvests are very relevant to local economy.

I really hope this is just an off year and not how things will be for the years coming.

Winnie, that would be back breaking work! My grandparents picked cotton when they were teenagers. Schools were out a whole week and everyone old enough picked cotton.

Cotton is beautiful when it is in full bloom. It sure would be painful to pick by hand and I am sure farmers are glad to have a machine that does it all.

Hope he can harvest his cotton crop soon. Connie after the harvest if there is any cotton left it makes for good crafting, it can be dyed.

As a quilter my first thought was prewashed cotton.....
I hope he can still harvest and the rain didn't ruin the crop.
