Texas, which annually grows about 4.5 million bales of cotton, is the leading cotton producing state

The Process
Cotton Pickers or Brush Strippers harvest cotton six or eight rows of cotton at a time
Cotton is stored in baskets above the harvester
Cotton is dumped into a cotton trailer when the basket is full
The cotton is transferred from the cotton trailers to a module builder
The module builder compresses the cotton to form a module of cotton

Cotton Processing
Cotton fiber is separated from the cottonseed at the gin
Cotton is vacuumed into tubes that carry it to a dryer to reduce moisture and improve the fiber quality
Cleaning equipment removes leaf trash, sticks and other foreign matter

Bales
The fiber (or lint) is compressed into bales
Banded with eight steel straps Sampled for classing or grading Loaded onto trucks for shipment to
storage yards, or textile mills
