Get this book from Amazon. I have read it and it is very interesting. It explains in detail how the cotton picker was developed, how share-cropping worked, and also covers the different varieties of cotton seed available back in the day. I found it interesting that Deere kinda waited until Harvester developed the cotton picker and then moved in and built their own picker, improving in areas they thought needed it.

That's a good point because my family is all white and we all chopped cotton and picked by hand, my sons even chopped for local farmers as late as the mid 90's. It took a long time to change but when it did it was all at once.
