  6. Some positive and negative Effects on the Cotton Gin A positive effect on the cotton gin is that it cleans the cotton for you so you don’t have to go through so much hassle with it. A negative thing is that it could break down while you are trying to clean or get the seeds out of the cotton but there is a less chance that that would happen. You can also find these at stores and they make them in factories.

  7. How does It work? The Cotton Picker runs threw the field and picks up the cotton and it finds the fibers from the seeds and picks them out.

  11. How much does a Cotton Picker cost? Today, cotton pickers cost $8,933 at the John Deere store which is where you can buy one.

  12. More about the Cotton Picker The cotton picker was invented by Taylure and Paige in 1850. The cotton picker is different from the cotton gin. The cotton picker is like a machine and it’s way bigger than the cotton gin. The first cotton picker was able to pick only one row of cotton at a time, now it can do a whole field. This was made to replace manual labor which is picking the cotton with your hands.

  13. Do they still make Cotton Gins today? I wouldn’t say no, but a version of the cotton gins are still used today because they are made from long ago but there has been a upgrade which is called the Cotton Picker which is generally still used today.
