Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)

Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)
I walked by this cotton field while on my way to a beaver dam near State Route 609 in Capron, Virginia on the afternoon of Thursday, August 19, 2010.  I ended up seeing the dam, but there were no beavers in sight.  One day I will go back there and find one of nature's engineers for this blog.  In the meantime, you can read more about this variety of cotton here, and about harvesting cotton here.
