Cottonland lives on near Scottsdale amid growth and gin
Thousands of Scottsdale acres once grew cotton now host multi million dollar development while about 5000 acres on the Salt River Indian Reservation remain under cultivation. The Scottsdale Community Gin on Pima Road processes Su Pima and short staple cotton with 13 men per shift, harvesting from mid September to February. Arizona ranks fifth in cotton production with 330000 acres of short staple and 62000 of long staple.
