COTTON FIELDS


seedtoshirt: Clarksdale, Mississippi - Bowen Flowers (the tall one) has 4000 acres of cotton. He gives a tour to reporter Robert Smith minutes before the harvest begins. Genetic engineering has created cotton plants that yield more than ever before while keeping away pests and weeds. Bowen says the goal is always to harvest more cotton with fewer human hands.
