Future Clothes? How about "T-Shirts on the vine"? About 4 cotton plants are needed to produce 1 T-Shirt. One bale of cotton will make ~1200 T-Shirts. One acre will produce 1.3-5 bales (varies). The field on the west side of this panorama is ~125 acres. That is a lot of T-Shirts.
Texas produces about 40% of the cotton in the United States. The USA is the second largest cotton producer in the world and exports about 35% of the cotton in the global market.
This year's cotton crop is past the blooming stage and boll formation appears to be well underway. These fields are about 5 miles west of our house in Lubbock, Texas and the weather conditions were ideal for an early morning drone flight to take a spherical panorama - - zero wind and plenty of evenly spaced small clouds to allow precise automatic sky alignment. This exposure was made from an altitude of 50 feet.
