Description

Early season heavy rains have delayed the cotton harvest a full month in Tarrant County, Texas. Local farmers are doing their best to get the last of the crop to the gin before the winter weather ruins their product. Farmer John Hodges is shown weighing a giant bale of cotton at 630-pounds. He is dressed in a straw hat, button-up shirt with cuffed sleeves, and overalls.
