Regarding your thanks at the end: if a marketing study was done, I’ll bet a very large share of us watch because of your cheerfulness. Never discount the way God has blessed you with cheerfulness.

Remember, Texas is not the only place in the United States where cotton is grown, so imagine how much cotton is grown every year. And yes, it does get cold in Texas. It even snows in South Texas and a lot of blizzards go thru Amarillo.

Laura and Grant are great Ambassadors for

Grew up in cotton country in Georgia in the 1950s. What a difference in the industry now. Thanks for sharing this.

Although I am Europe, I always liked the life of these people from Texas, they always have that smile and work with all their heart.

When I was a kid in Arizona in the early 60's I lived across the road from cotton fields so I would cross the Irrigation ditch and pick a little bit of cotton. And we had a Cotton gin in our town. I'm 63 now and this is the first time I've ever seen the process. It's really something to see. Thank you for sharing this video. It was very enjoyable. And brought back some great memories..

Eli Whitney would be very impressed with this operation.

Being a city guy/retail consumer only its nice to see how the raw products in the field make there way to the store. Keep up the great work on showing us just how much all types of farming effects our lives. I think you guys should take a few more "field" trips.

Been a cotton farmer in Arizona Gilbert so many years of arrigating picking discing plowing planting cultivating lot of hours and care and then worry about cotton weavles, crop dusting oooweee, stick what you doing girlfriend but at the end of the day it's satisfying it's in our blood for generations to come, with cotton I'd just go naked💯🤣

We always knew that farmers grow the food we eat, but we don’t always give them credit for growing our clothes. Thank You.

[kevinb]

you're good at explaining this... even if you are just repeating exactly what you're told--you're good at this

[kevinb]

Perfect ending. Most superhero movies don't have sequel teasers that good!

Come to the hill country when you’re in Texas. It’s beautiful and you can tour all the vineyards around Fredericksburg and see how we grow grapes for wine.
We’d love to have you guys.

Your ticket to heaven has been punched with your visit to West Texas. I grew up in Lubbock and live in Amarillo for 33 years (1991-2024 present). I was a fire fighter in Lubbock in 1977 and put out a gin fire in the staging yard. Back then, cotton was brought from the field, to the gin, in cotton trailers (now extinct). The flat terrain background in this video brings back great memories when I lived in Lubbock. You and Grant have a great channel.

Great video. Hey Grant, we need you to do a 360 burnout in your cool car. LOL 😂 Hey y’all can come to Louisiana and video the pine tree plantations, the saw mill process, and the making of plywood, different size lumber, how they clear or select cut the trees, how they plant cutovers, etc. There is so many different modes of farming. Like my Dad told me years ago after being stationed overseas in the military, America is the greatest country in the world. Stay safe.

Your charisma and joie de vivre are absolutely intoxicating. Whoever gets to stay with you is charmed indeed.

[MrGlenspace]

No matter where I have ever went, I love factory tours.

[NathanKSmith]

I've lived close to these fields for 40 years and had no idea how any of this works. Very interesting. Thank you for the show and tell.

I hunted pheasant in cotton fields in central California in the early 70s but I never realized what it took to make the jeans or t-shirts I wore growing up. Thanks Laura and Grant for showing us that we shouldn't take for granted where are food and clothes come from.

[sylvesternp]

Fantastic video. Farming on a scale that most countries can only dream of.
