It is just amazing how cotton is processed. We really should appreciate all our clothes and linens and they are rather cheap considering all the labor involved. Let us be thankful.
They're cheap because of scale. Understanding how a small portion of the universe works makes this all possible.
Do you want me to stand infront of my wardrobe and clap for my clothes.
@@christopherrobbins2236 You should.
@@gnryushi do you do it, If so, how often?
More importantly, let us be thankful for the fossil fuels that run all of that machinery. I hear the old method for processing cotton was labor intensive and not very nice for the workers.
"Traditionally Processed By Hand ".... hmmmmmm?!!!!
:-))))) yeah, black hands in particular!
@@TomislavKoren woah dude, thats kinda racist, no cool man 😬😬🥸😔😰😤🤬😱👎👎🦶👃🤌🙊😵
@@royisdabest Sarcasm and racism are very wide apart. I can see that you recognize only the latter one.
By hand was the best way to bad that had to get automated took a lot of good job away

How is an episode of "How it's made" made?
1. Proposal
2. Invitation to factory
3. Record
4. Edit
5. Profit.
Now, make a narrative story out of these, and you got yourself a How it's made: "How it's made episodes". Available on Disney channel.

I’ve always thought of how incredible it is that people invent the machines that do all this stuff. To me it seems you have to be borderline genius to come up with, and build, machines like that.
Or really bored of having to do all the work by hand.

Yeah it's fascinating. I have a ton of respect for the dudes who make it happen. They're responsible for most of our modern wealth. Creating with 10 people what it would take 1,000+ to do otherwise. Amazing.
Some of my fondest memories are of my aunt (who was only a couple of years older than me) and I running around playing hide and seek in the cotton fields here in Mississippi in the late 80s-early 90s. My stepdad and grandfather were cotton farmers.

Really amazing how many specialized machines take the raw cotton and through multiple steps, cleans the cotton. I had no idea that cotton seed can be used as feed for animals.
A lot of different things can be used as livestock food primarily seeds and stuff
Cotton Seed is also used as Cooking Oil.
@@zak9505 I did not know that, and appreciate your share.
@@guillermobarroso2990 Indeed, remains of oil and corn productions are also other interesting sources of livestock feed. If it food grade and humans don't wants to eat it by the masses, assume it's ends in the mouths of animals. Whether that's your steaks, pork, chickens, etc or your pets' like cats, dogs, fish, etc.
Sneed’s Seed and Feed
Real OG's remember picking and cleaning this stuff by hand.
i work at a processing plant for cottonseed we make oil and feed from the cottonseed it pretty neat to see this part of the processing even seeing some of the equipment we have on this video is pretty cool
I didn't realize how humorous cottonseed oil could be until Arnold's cousin Arnie read the ingredients on a bag of peanuts in a "Hey Arnold" episode.
"Peanuts, cottonseed oil, salt."
This video was amazing 👏
The manufacturing machines are awe inspiring. Who ever designed those machines is a genius.
Thank Eli Whitney. It was him who invented the cotton gin in 1791.
Back in the good old day they used to pick it by hand
I remember when "how it's made" started out only as a website. Now they are a full-blown series, glad to see their progress.
I work in a cotton mill that produces cotton yarn. I always thought the raw cotton came from the same place. It's fun to learn things.
The naturally occurring cotton colors are shades of green, tan, brown, and reddish brown.
Don’t confuse naturally colored cotton with organic cotton. Organic cotton is any cotton that has been raised with non-GMO seed without chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Farms that raise organic cotton and call it organic, whether white or naturally colored, must be certified organic. 0:10 [Handwoven]
The cost of a combine harvester will vary depending on the brand, model, and features you choose. You can expect to pay anywhere from $100,000 to $500,000 for a new machine. 0:40

@@MaxSixty-Three same lol
@Max 63 you are so clever ...
Cotton is grown all over the world, not just by whites.......
💀
I can't help but think of the people who did all the manual hard work to produce bales of cottons before :(
Edit: I'm Asian.
It's basically just a matter or separating the seeds from the fluffy part. You could probably get most of it done by washing it thoroughly with water and letting it dry out, and picking the remaining seeds off by hand. It's not TOO hard, but processing a bunch of it requires a bunch of hands, which is why slave labor was so high in demand back then.
Luciano Martinez I’ve spent a lot of time picking seeds and debris out of cotton by hand. The lint is pretty firmly attached to the seeds and it makes your hands ache. It’s not exactly hard work, but one can see why the cotton gin was an exciting invention.
@@ColdFuse96 Also a lot of cotton plant where had to get because of thorns on the plant, also slaves worked at the actual mill themselves because once again there was a danger because the things they used for cotton were very dangerous. I don't remember why but i think it was because thing would get caught at fast speed.
That's why people never progress. Always mad about the past.
@@RiverBottomBoys. I, as a German in 2020, can confirm.
These factories are beautiful, I design these nets through which the cotton passes and enters the machines, it is a nice feeling to have an impact on this wonderful work
Cotton are the world's 51st most traded product. In 2021, the top exporters of Cotton were China ($12.1B), India ($10B), United States ($7.21B), Vietnam ($3.92B), and Brazil ($3.61B). In 2021, the top importers of Cotton were China ($9.73B), Bangladesh ($8.91B), Vietnam ($4.99B), Turkey ($3.99B), and Pakistan ($2.46B). 1:31 [OEC World]

I wanna watch this on my TV because it's just so relaxing, kid friendly, informative, and just interesting to watch!
When Columbus discovered America in 1492, he found cotton growing in the Bahama Islands. By 1500, cotton was known generally throughout the world. Cotton seed are believed to have been planted in Florida in 1556 and in Virginia in 1607. By 1616, colonists were growing cotton along the James River in Virginia. 4:42 [The National Cotton Council]
Cotton is a beautiful plant for making pure cotton clothes for hot climates as they don't trap the body heat and don't create sweat , so comfortable .

One thing you did not mention -- when cottonseed is crushed, the small fibers still on the cottonseed are first cut off in a series of steps, and these cotton 'linters' are sold to purification plants which process the linters for use in many wonderful applications, including cellulose triacetate (for use in LCD screens), cellulose nitrate (e.g., lacquers, explosives), specialty papers (e.g., watercolour papers, banknote papers, friction materials, lab filtration), and cellulose ethers (for thickening applications). These linter fibers have a much different morphology than the long staple fibers... much more like rods rather than ribbons. So there are really TWO types of fibers on a cottonseed.
Thank you for filling in the blanks, I was clueless.

So THAT'S where the idea for 'Django Unchained' came from.
First, they take the dinglebop, and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. They take the dinglebop and they push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It’s important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice. Then a schlami shows up, and he rubs it and spits on it. They cut the fleeb. There’s several hizzards in the way. The blamfs rub against the chumbles. And the ploobis and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with a regular old plumbus.
you had me at dinglebop
Ahhhh geez
Really enjoyed watching this video on the harvest and processing of Cotton. The cotton clothes of many types that have been a part of our culture and wardrobe that most of us have taken for granted not fully realizing what a benefit it has been. Denim Cotton Jeans first made by Levi Strauss about 1850 to supply the men looking for Gold in California Gold Rush. Levi Jeans and other brands are the most popular casual and work pants ever produced and this is World Wide. First worn by men then adopted by young women during the 1960s it has stood the test of time and is still going strong.
I think you left out the part about the people who picked that cotton. Hmm, either you don't know as much as you think you do? or you're just avoiding the subject.
@@patman0250 Before the Civil War mostly African slaves worked in the Cotton fields from planting to Harvest. After the Civil War , Long After, because most of the farms in the South were destroyed it was Black People who still worked in the fields because they knew how to work with cotton. The big difference ,they were not Forced to work on the farms, it was their choice. It was not until 1942 that a Reliable Machine was engineered that would actually pick and Harvest the cotton. The Cotton Gin only separated the seeds from the fiber , it was developed in late 1700s, the Cotton still had to be picked by hand.

Started to scroll past this video. But I just stopped to see how far we’ve come.... this may just be another video to y’all but this video has a deeper meaning to me.
Well, I'm on the 563th how its made video
This is my life now
Those machines are amazing.
I loved seeing the transformation!
There being a cotton plant is itself amazing.
The whole processing plant feels like something that I would make in Factorio
Some of these factories are insane, like ai that can scan thousands of things like rice and blow them out from rest. I personally could never think of this, I prob just look into them camps
I clicked just to see the comments 😂
Same
thats sad
Dont you watch only see comments
I've got 2 plants of my own growing
@cat bone wow hahahahah -_-
@cat bone and a whip
Now you just need a combine and a cotton gin factory. You're almost there.
No you don't
A very informative video! This tells how cotton is processed.
As stated above, James Hargreaves is famous for the invention of the spinning jenny in 1764. Simply put, the spinning jenny was a machine that used a large wheel to spin many spindles of thread at once. The invention increased the production ability of textile manufactures and was particularly important for cotton.

Pretty sure my uncle told me that cotton was processed a different way... ;-)

I’m confused at what point are slaves involved?
The days before nationwide power, these gins had external power plants. When picking season kicked off, those huge engines could be heard for miles around, thundering away until the last bale is done.
Thanks! Helped a lot with my supply chain project.

I admit I chuckled a little when I heard “cotton-picker”.
I live in North Carolina and see several cotton fields.. its absolutely beautiful when in bloom.. my youngest daughter had never seen cotton and so one day i spotted a farmer who wa on a tractor cutting the cotton.. I pulled in to his driveway and he was wonderful us.. He even gave my daughter some cotton..
This machine build the seed cotton into a HUMONGOUS cotton block
Well back then ... 👴🏻
Just drove down some roads here in NC on our way to the Atlantic coast and saw many small fields of cotton waiting for harvest…..wondered what happened to it after being “picked”……BOOM!…….here we are! Just amazing!
My word the person who developed these machines are incredible
Huh interesting...I wonder how they did it back in the day....
They used black people I think

Another way means there is an alternative way

This would be way different if filmed 200 years ago
Cotton is one of those things you dont want to say handmade.
handmade cotton hurts like hell.
can you do a video on how its picked?
They did you moron
@cat bone a white man may have freed them but plot twist... It was a black person who originally enslaved black people. Tribes in africa have been enslaving others for hundreds possibly even thousands of years and it was these tribes that sold slaves to the Portuguese and caused demand for black slaves.
It's picked with a tractor as shown
