Has anyone not picked cotton on a school field trip?

Did it in 5th grade. Still have the cotton bloom and everything in a box in my parents house.

Funny video and pretty ironic circumstances, but if you grew up in the South (regardless of race) chances are you went to a cotton field on a field trip.

Yeah. This. I hadn't seen this before either. I did pass it on to a couple teachers I know though. Excellent field trip for agriculturally inclined students.

Nope but we didn't have big cotton plantations here in E. TN and there are no Deep South style plantations to visit. Now I have seen small patches of cotton likely from what people used to put out on their small farms. It's usually just a tiny little patch (like a foot at most but sometimes just one or two cotton plants) where the cotton has sprouted up wild but I haven't even seen those since I was little.

I think that's only true if you grew up in the Lower or Deep South which is also the Cotton South and Plantation South.



The Upper South was quite different.



OMG. Mizzou is in there. (Seriously there are many ways to define the upper south - sometimes even Maryland and Delaware are included, although the core of the Upper South is TN, KY, NC, VA, and often ARK.

Oh I've been on your side on that for a while. It's funny though, the "South" is a very big region but for some reason the "Deep South" is what defines us as a region despite the fact that the Upper and Lower South have very different socioeconomic and cultural histories.

I went on a field to trip to a cotton plant in elementary school and our school was almost entirely white

Lol. We never went on a cotton picking expedition as kids! Haha. Though we did sing Dixie and have a confederate flag in a fifth grade play, and this was in the 90's. Haha. That shite would never happen today
