COTTON : FROM HARVEST TO GIN: 20_0_269_1webrh20

Workers Daniel Bethea (left) and Donald Roller work to cover a modular of cotton for Baxley & Baxley Farms on a field in Minturn, South Carolina November 24, 2012. After the cotton is ginned and cleaned, a typical modular will yield about 15 bails of cotton. Each bail will weigh 500 lbs. The cotton harvest takes place in South Carolina from October through November and is planted and grows along a corridor approximately 30 miles on each side of Interstate I-95. About 80 percent of the cotton harvested by this farm is exported outside the United States. REUTERS/Randall Hill (UNITED STATES)
