Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Social Documentary Photography & events, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

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.
