Still a major crop throughout the world, the Cotton Belt produces 80 percent of America's cotton, making the United States second in the world's cotton production. Upland cotton represents nearly 95 percent of all cotton production, and Georgia's Dooly County is the perfect place to witness "snow in the South." Here in the fall, vast fields of white offer a strong contrast to the rich red earth. Georgia's perfect weather for growing cotton leads to huge white bolls of extra-long staple fibers. These long rows of cotton plants, captured at daybreak, are just bursting with some of the finest cotton in the world.
