I love cotton growing in the field. Well I love corn and soybeans, too. Or any garden for that matter. But there is something about cotton that speaks to the souls of my ancestors that still dwell within me. Beautiful as a flower, back-breaking labor to harvest, can slice your hand on its thorny pods, full of hope of prosperity or at least a days wages and another day to eat. There was a day when cotton wasn’t merely a crop. It was the backbone of the US economy. Cotton was King. . . #cottonboll #cotton #kingcotton #southerncrop #deltacrop #useconomy #soulsofdeadrelatives #inmydna https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ESoPAHUAD/?igshid=1sssvlsb6i73n
