Cotton Farming - The Way It Was - The Way It Is


This mural is located on East Business 59 and painted on the Farmers Co-op Cotton Warehouse. It depicts the history of cotton from the early days when it was picked by hand and taken by wagons and mules to the gin. It shows the small bales ready for transportation to other places for processing. There is a modern gin and machinery for harvesting today. Shown also is machinery that presses the cotton into large modules on the fields awaiting transportation to the gin for ginning. There the seed is separated from the fiber, and the fiber is pressed into bales. The seed is processed into feed for cattle, oil, and other products. Some seed is treated and saved to plant the next year.

Sponsor: Farmers Co-op Gin 
Artist: Dayton Wodrich 1996
