what did they do to the leaves of the plant? is it a different kind of variety genetically modified or firstly the leaves are harvested somehow?

@@MaximusLeague Thank you for your question! The leaves of the cotton plant go through a process called "defoliation, " where chemicals are used to remove the leaves before harvesting. This ensures the cotton bolls are clean and ready for machine collection.

Machine showed in this video it’s not a CP 690, it is a CS 690, which is a cotton stripper, which strips the cotton, augers it to the center, and up into the basket, where it goes through a Daugher and the chaff is dumped out on the ground and the cotton goes into the basket. A cotton picker, which would be a CP number. It’s totally different. The Daugher are at each row unit. If you go to triple R farms, you can see a cotton picker, a six row unit. Cotton strippers like the one shown in this video are generally eight row units although you did show a couple of four row units. And there is a big difference between the stripper and the picker. Do your homework!
