The white fluffy wonderful cotton is really pretty dirty! |
Shawn dumps from the stripper into the boll buggy |
Ever wonder why you sneeze during the fall? All these little particles flying through the air may have something to do with it... |
Not Bob the Builder, Shawn the Stripper |
This is about the time I got kicked out of the cab of the stripper... don't know why... |
No stripping season is complete around our world without the normal stripping pictures. I thought I would share them on my blog this year. Today was so pretty that everyone ended up out working on today's harvest. The kids always tarp the modules after they are built so that the wind doesn't blow the top layer of cotton off as it is in the field or on its way to the gin.
