How they Pick Cotton BY HAND in Uzbekistan 

These people are to be admired by all of us for the hard work they do and unfortunately we don't realize it, but only when we see great videos like this. Thanks Slava and Lena for this great video.

That's the way it was done on the family farms here in Alabama, USA when I was a kid during the 1940-1950's. They had big long bags that they drug along the ground. They were 6-8 feet long. Instead of tractors they had mule drawn wagons to receive the cotton. These were family farms. The older children were excused from school for "cotton picking" for a week or two in September. The adults would also swap out picking for other family farmers. This was the cash crop for the families.Fortunately, my family moved to the city when I was about 3 and I missed the "fun" of cotton chopping and picking.....😁😁😁😁

Amazing work. Useful to remember the hard work that goes into making t-shirts or jeans.

Tengo 37 años. Soy del Norte argentino. Y también coseché algodón 🙋🏻‍♀️😘🇦🇷💪

My Grandma use to pick cotton by hand all 5 foot nothing. The to sack was longer than she was. picking cotton by hand cuts up your hands. She did the best she could she was a widow with 5 kids during the depression.

Slava you are an artist in film National Geographic would be proud of your work.

Wow, this video is mind blowing. Great job!

Happy to seeing all you people

Very hard working people love you all love Uzbekistan from New York city USA🇸🇱🇵🇰🇺🇸

I notice their fields are clean after picking. In Giddings, Texas, the cotton balers come and after they harvest a field, the whole farm is white with wasted cotton. It's bound to have all the leaf and stem parts mixed in. I can't imagine how that would be separated by machines. The cotton these people pick is so clean! You can't beat hand picked cotton. Beautiful!

Just found your channel, great content man,

We are all struggling to survive. We that survive… are working class heroes.

Very nice work!

Very nice good sharing

When I was a little bitty baby My mama would rock me in the cradle In them old cotton fields back home

Спомнел советский союз, на колхозе табака соберали также

Little disappointed with this last video as it’s only about five minutes in length and you’re not in it at all. There’s no dialogue going on. But I’m keeping in mind that you’re probably not as equipped as you were prior to having to move.

Почему не убирают комбаинами , как раньше..

Why don’t use harvesting machines.

why dont they use machines to pick up the cotton ? why ?

Nextdoor, You should videotape how russians live in their villages and about pandemic alcoholism in your country.

Надо на международным уровне запретить Узбекистану выращивать хлопок за то они забирает много воды и поэтому на реке Сырдария нет воды, из за этого Казахстан страдает и высохло Аральское море!

В Узбекистане до сех пор средневековье? Почему нет техники? По моему там ещё существует рабства!

У них до сих пор нет техники для уборки хлопка? Ужас, какая отсталость!!! 😁😁😁
