 The Second Great Emancipation: The Mechanical Cotton Picker, Black Migration, and How They Shaped the Modern South | ...
By the author's account, the cotton picker "emancipated" both southern farmers and fl workers from among the most arduous forms of "stoop" labor, and with it from perpetual misery, inadequate education, low standards of living and the tedium of unchanging expectations.
A problem with the cotton picker as "indispensable," is that in part it was an intermediary between other large demographic and economic shifts and their results for southern markets and society.
In part, the cotton picker was important because the demographic and social changes with which it was entangled were so consequential; Holley is aware of this at every step, and in the end provides the balance and completeness of documentation that should assure the longevity of his work as a reference.

 Cotton Farming
Parvin first examined the performance rate of a modern six-row cotton picker, set on 40-inch rows, with the attendant boll buggy and module builder.
Cotton producers will no doubt be keenly interested in a comparison of total costs for the two systems, and Parvin has computed them on a per-acre basis derived from 2001 harvest-cost data in the state of Mississippi.
At $40,000 over the cost of a standard picker, the OBMB picker has the potential to save the producer $18.14 an acre, but were the increased cost to soar above a conventional cotton picker's costs by $85,000 that per-acre savings would vanish.
