Cotton Rope and Twines

The beauty of cotton is that most of what is harvested is used in some capacity. The oil finds its way into food products, such as crackers, cereal, or potato chips. As we noted above, the leftover meal becomes animal feed. Once cotton is harvested, very little of it goes to waste. This fact, along with how it goes from seed to product in less than a year, makes it as compelling a crop as it does a story.
