Hastings will Host a Book Signing for Local Lubbock Author

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - June 20, 2013 - PRLog -- Today’s cotton production on the South Plains barely resembles the cotton culture of 100 years ago. When cotton first came to the South Plains it was very labor intensive, with every stage of production depending on large amounts of hand labor. The planting, cultivating and picking or pulling of cotton were all done by hand.

Often, the harvested cotton was transported to gins in wagons pulled by teams of horses or mules. Today, due to the many improvements in the industry, most cotton is grown without ever being touched by human hands. The story of cotton on the South Plains is the story of continuous change, improvement and mechanization.
