Cotton is machine harvested in the U.S., beginning in July in south Texas and in October in more northern areas of the Belt. Stripper harvesters, used chiefly in Texas and Oklahoma, have rollers or mechanical brushes that remove the entire boll from the plant. In the rest of the Belt, spindle pickers are used.
In the early 1700s, cotton cultivated in the state was used mainly for home spinning and weaving. It wasnât until the invention of the cotton gin later that century that cotton became a cash crop in Louisiana. For more than 100 years cotton has been the most important crop grown in northeast Louisiana. Crucial to the continued success of the stateâs cotton industry has been the research conducted by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station.
