    Cotton

    16 oktober 2020, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    It boggles the mind to think that this all would’ve been picked by hand as recently as the 1950’s.

    Arkansas currently ranks #4 in cotton and cottonseed production in the USA, and is the #5 exporter of cotton, with exports valued at nearly half a billion dollars.

    Cotton prices fell 25% between January and April 2020 as a result of COVID-19’s negative impact on retail sales of textiles.

    ReizigerNothing like ramming the cotton pod spikes under your fingernails. Hope someday somewhere the slave owners get to experience that little inconvenience.
