cotton field
White harvest ground
A cotton field is an agricultural area where cotton is cultivated.
The term carries particular historical weight in the American South, where cotton fields were worked by enslaved people before the Civil War and by sharecroppers afterward.
Cotton fields remain central to the textile industry: Miles of cotton fields stretched across the delta.
