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.....😁😁😁😁
We did very similarly in Oklahoma in the 1950's except we picked the entire boll and not just the lint. I remember my Mom could pick 200 pounds and earn $20 a day. I tried it and hated the work and the pain to my hands. When blacks complain that their ancestors had to pick cotton I have to chuckle. We were all very white where we lived and worked as well. Gave us a good reason to get college degrees.
@@jamesrobinson6382stupid comment as im sure you wasn’t getting a whip across your back when you would slow down or was tired, if it was up to them im sure they would have chose to do something else, but thats the thing with being a slave you cant do as you want and decide you will go for another career, it was that or death
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!
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.
I can't even imagine how a slaves hands looked after doing this all day without gloves. I hate the stain slavery has left on the United States. It was so wrong. Greed. It's always about greed.
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.
I still haven’t figured out whether I should be appearing in these videos. It’s a different format and I’ll still have my regular videos on Russian plus and coolvision . Thanks for your feedback
@@nextdoor1 appear, don’t appear. Do as you you feel. This type of filming is so rare! I love it. I view your content bc the way you view the word is remarkable, and the things you have the opportunity to gleam are amazing. I know the circumstances are not optimal; to be FORCED to break from your “regularly scheduled life,” but I am envious of you, and sergey. Y’all are doing it. Seeing the world, experiencing it. It’s by force, but y’all are seeing the world. Remember to be safe and remember “To every thing there is a season.” I am not religious but the Byrds are right.
It's all high tech today. A lot of solutions have been found over 200 years, but they require planning, sourcing and expense. The backs of workers is a cheap solution.
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!

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

My mother picked cotton by hand as a child during the depression in the southern US.

@@jamesrobinson6382 they were not paid . Free labor. At least you were.
But in India farmers don't allow workers to pick cotton with leafs and dust
I don't know how they are doing in Uzbekistan

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
I did the same here in SW Mississippi back in the 50’s
Just found your channel, great content man,
We are all struggling to survive. We that survive… are working class heroes.
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Ассолому аллекум Алла разы болсын омир жастарын узак болсын
Very nice good sharing
Slava, I didn't see you pick any. hahaha
Using gloves means really picking up the pace.
Very nice work!
Wonderful video Slava. 👍
Well well well 💀👴🏻

And in other parts of the world. Slavery is a centuries-old, world-wide situation.

Why don’t use harvesting machines.
I wonder right

Почему не убирают комбаинами , как раньше..
Хлопок высшего сорта только руками собирается
why dont they use machines to pick up the cotton ? why ?
A new John Deere 6 - row picker costs more than $1 million dollars in the USA. There labor costs less etc.

Что это за растения.
Cotton is a plant
хлопок, трудная работа, даже детей заставляют убирать...
@@armand2024 не заставляют...такого уже нет

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!!! 😁😁😁
