Anyone here ever hoed cotton or peanuts? You haven’t worked until you do it, hoe for a quarter of a mile , turn around and go back hoeing within one foot of where you just came. Always looking at the water jug at end of row, I was miss treated as a child.

Hoed cotton and watched for rattle snakes!!! Between that and weeding a garden , I will not cultivate anything but a lawn and that only
to keep the neighbors from calling the city!!!

I chopped many a row of cotton, (I believe the phrase "a long row to hoe" comes from weeding cotton with a hoe) and each fall school would be dismissed for "cotton picking" (actually it was pulling boles) for a week, and I would be out in the cotton patch pulling boles from dawn to dark.

Never had to do anything with cotton or peanuts as no one grew that stuff up in the Panhandle. However, a number of years ago, I learned that the phrase "fair to middling" referred to a fairly good grade of cotton. I've used that phrase for many a year and never knew what it really meant. There's another phrase that I've used in the past and ended up getting in trouble because of it.

Just don't try to self identify as Cherokee.. That is NOT allowed.

Just to be clear then......it's okay to identify as African American then?

No. You cannot identify as an American - it’s offensive to third-world country residents. Identifying as an earth inhabitant would probably be okay, until alien life is discovered.

My Dad farmed some cotton. I remember pickin with a black family. Dad wanted me to know what it was like. I was glad when he quit planting it. Boll Weevils got bad.

I grew up on a working farm. For those who don’t know that meant we slept 6 hours and worked 18 each day.
