The Cotton harvest has begun!

Yesterday, they started harvesting the cotton. It is baled into these giant, nearly semi-truck size bales.
never seen this.

Great collection, as hard packed as the cotton must be to maintain that rectangular shape, I can't imagine how much cotton that must be!

Amazing sight! I don't know anything about modern cotton harvesting so, these photos are informative as well as cool to look at. Thanks for sharing, Lisa!

They look like concrete blocks. Imagine those comfortable cotton clothes they are going to turn to.

@joansmor Me either! LOL!
@ladygator They put it in a big compactor, that packs it all tightly together. I didn't get a good picture of that, though.
@paulam Thanks, we always like to learn as much about the local area as we can while we are there.
@annika82 Me either. I'm just glad they started harvesting on Friday, instead of Monday, else we would have been out of town and missed it.
@yaorenliu That's what I thought, too. My son touched it, said it feels like a bunch of socks! LOL!
@lifepause And when it's growing, it looks like flowers. So weird. Not what I expected either.
@francoise I can't imagine how they move it or what they transport these on. They are huge.

Gosh that's a sight, not one we would get to see normally. It's amazing how solid the blocks are.
