 Here is a picture of what's inside the pod or boll . 4 or 5 chambers on the pod each with 2 or 3 seeds in it . Cotton Strippers are more like rakes in that they rakes the pod loose . The machine cleans it some and then it dumped into a module builder ( smasher) and then the mill comes and hauls it the the gin mill for the final processing before a textile mill would purchase. Pretty neat process for someone who has only been around beans corn and wheat.

That looks like quite a show, like all brand new machines!
Closest I've seen cotton is watching griggs farms on YouTube. Modules and bales. They do a lot of corn and beans and how I started watching.
Now I'll have to look up how the AC's work.

Looks like a very interesting show. Hopefully the turnout was good enough to make it an annual event, and I can make it there next year. Thanks for the pictures, Pat.

Thanks for sharing the good times with the rest of us. Cotton striper is very different than any a cotton picker I have been close to. From what I see and read out here on the left side of the cotton belt, module builders are only worth scrape price.
Just heard an acreage report for California, just over 100,000 acres. Once over a million acres of cotton out here.

Thanks to Creston for putting on this show. Very informative presentation that Creston gave for the Stripper machines and cotton growing. Thanks to all the people that traveled as far as they did . Plenty of guys from Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, ND ,Michigan etc etc . Hopefully Creston can keep this going. If you get a chance, definitely make this a Bucket list trip. Love to see different crops and the techniques, technology and effort it takes to grow and harvest.
