1920 pounds? That is a heckuva big bale!
The cotton bales I recall were said to weigh 800 odd pounds.

I thought that was a big bale of cotton. When I was a cotton picker the ginned weight was 500 pounds. But that might have been because that was what the gin could handle.

Hello Albert. There is still a lot of cotton in the area. They get it planted early. While most cotton farmers are just getting their cotton planted these guys are getting ready to harvest theirs.
