Cotton Picking Time Returns in Cotton Country
Cotton time returns as farmers in Morgan, Limestone, Lawrence, and Cullman counties brace for a record year. Cotton contributes heavily to state income while poultry leads in Cullman and hogs nearby. Auburn Extension notes rapid adoption of mechanical cotton pickers, with state gains rising from 6 percent in 1959 to over 50 percent projected this year.
