With cotton fields all around and bolls about to bloom, cotton remains the lifeblood of many Bulloch Countians today, as it has been for more than a 150 years. The word “Cotton” translates to “coton” in French, and even sounds the same in Arabic: “Qutun”. The cotton plant is actually a member of the Mallow family, which also includes milkweed and hollyhock.
