| Do you happen to know if any chemical defoliants were used in harvesting the cotton? Seems like some growers do that in warmer climates, and some growers in the high plains don't have to do it because the first frost usually occurs at the right time. If it's "ol' natural" its a great deal. |

| You know I didn't think about that. But I do remember seeing a quick defoliation of the cotton around here, just before harvesting. I would assume they do use some sort of herbicide. |
