Why does handpicking of cotton last for over a month
Answers
Picking cotton is back breaking work because you have to stay bent over at the waist dragging a sack behind you with 60 or 70 pounds of cotton in it all day.
Cotton grows inside a round hard ball about the size of a golf ball called a cotton boll until it matures. In early Fall the bolls began to open exposing the locks of cotton. After the boll opens and dries, it is called a cotton burr and hasabout 4 or 5 sharp spurson it. The hands of a picker stay sore from sticking his fingerswith the sharp tipsall season.
Such a difficult process is of course time consuming. Hence in the entire season handpicking of cotton lasts for around 2 to 3 months.

Cotton hand picking is a process that consumes a lot of time. The aim is to get the long, fine strands of the cotton that will include the picking of the stem from the bottom and then once the plant is matured after a month, they are picked from the top. Hence, the total harvest takes a month.
