Farmer cooperatives existed in 1940, with some sort of guidance/assistance from the Farm Security Admnistration (FSA)? Interesting - I don't think the FSA exists anymore; I wonder what became of it.

Has this field been planted yet? I see grass/weeds that they are 'chopping' but no cotton. One of the earlier photos shows some plant, I assume cotton, a few inches high in rows that the people are working around with hoes but not here and they should be high enough to show up. Is this just a very labor-intensive way to prepare last years ground for the new planting?

They probably couldn't afford any major pieces of equipment. It was a cheap but labor intensive tillage method involving chopping down the old cotton plant stalks and turning any plant material under the soil surface.

I am noting the even distribution of labor. No glass ceiling here.
