Abstract
The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) celebrated its centennial year during 2007. As part of the ASABE centennial, the authors were asked to describe agricultural engineering accomplishments in U.S. cotton production, harvesting, and ginning over the past 100 years. The U.S. cotton industry has not existed in a vacuum but has always been influenced by social, political, and economic forces as well as engineering developments throughout its history. However, for the purpose of this article, the authors concentrated solely on describing engineering developments and practices in cotton production, harvesting, and ginning and their influence on each other. In order to describe engineering developments from 1907 forward, it was necessary to lay some basic groundwork on what occurred prior to the last 100 years in the U.S. cotton industry.
