In pre-refrigeration days, hogs were harvested in the fall and cured for six to seven months, just in time for Easter dinner. That’s how ham came to be the traditional Easter favorite.
Q: Why can you still see cotton in the field after harvest?
A: The white patches are cotton lint. Farmers don’t harvest bark from cotton plants and some of the lint stays behind as a result. The puffs look large, but do not weigh very much.
