cotton farmers
Textile crop producers
Cotton farmers are people who cultivate cotton as a crop, typically for commercial sale.
The term emphasizes the specific commodity rather than farming generally: Cotton farmers in the South struggled after the boll weevil invasion.
Like other compound occupational terms (dairy farmers, wheat farmers), it identifies both livelihood and agricultural specialty.
