Yes, we live in the 'land of cotton'. Cotton field in Mershon, Georgia, 53 miles west of Brunswick, located on Hyw. 32 about 19 miles before you get to Alma.
Dixie Land!
O, I wish I was in de land ob cotton,
Old times dar am not forgotten,
Look away! Look away!Look away!
Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land whar I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'.
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land.
Daniel Decatur Emmett, 1860

Very cool pictures. I would love to let me girls loose in a cotton field.
What fun and what cute pictures! When I lived in Texas, we used to take pictures in the blue bonnets... The girls sure take great picutres.
Those are so cute in the cotton. My grandchildren have never seen cotton like that in the fields. I will show it to them. Auntie Betsy
What a beautiful field of cotton...the girls look so cute in those picutes!
Great pictures of the heritage of the South. Along with pecan groves, peach orchards and peanuts and watermelon and Vidalia onions that is,call huge agricultural crops of Georgia.
As you know Uncle Sam, Papa's brother, named his book of homespun stories "From the Cotton Patch" because he and Papa grew up on a cotton mill village. That is also the name of his blog at:

Some of your viewers may wish to check it out.
We'll probably pass many cotton fields on the way to the Crenshaw Reunion at Indian Springs (Flovilla), GA, this week. Sure wish your family was going - still have room for y'all, but hunting is a stronger draw for the boys, I know.
Hugs, Love & Prayers,

I love the pics in the cotton patch. Wonder where you found that cotton patch.
Just realized that it said on your post where it was taken. Oops.
