Great question! And I think I’ll be writing another blog post based on it! In general, farmers want to keep the cotton plants compact so it will be able to feed through a cotton picker. That means breeders have worked to develop varieties that tend to be in that height range and farmers do additional things to keep them that height. I really may have to write a bit up!

As a Yankee who recently traveled through GA (not just Atlanta) for the first time, the cotton fields didn’t look much like I expected. In particular, the plants are much shorter than historical pictures show them — I thought they’d be chest- or maybe waist-high on you, not so close to knee-high. Is this due to modern varieties? or is it modern planting methods?
