Harvesting of the cotton is going on all over Arkansas now. They harvest/gather it in these trucks and dump them in a packer.
They make about 4 trips through the field and have to dump in the packer.
This is the packer and it can hold about ten of the truckloads of cotton before a stack is made. The upright arms are the packer and it moves back and forth across the whole container packing the cotton tight.
When the packer is full the container is moved away slowly and a tight stack of cotton is left behind. Someone sits on top of the stack to pull the plastic across to cover it tightly.
The cotton is covered in plastic on the top portion and is later moved by truck to the cotton gin for processing and then to the barges for market.
