It's #TravelBackTuesday at the FCFD! To honor cotton stripping season, we're going back in time to explore how cotton harvesting equipment has evolved over the years! Come visit the museum to get an up-close look at the machines that helped shape cotton harvesting history!

Early catalogs often featured hand drawn illustrations and color plates. Black and white photography began appearing in some catalogs after 1900, and color photographs became prominent by the 1950s. #TravelBackTuesday #FCFD #AgHistory #AgEducation #Seeds #Seasons

Happy #FarmerFriday! Did you know pumpkins come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors? #Pumpkins #October #AgEducation #Fall #FCFD

Before pumpkin spice lattes and jack-o-lanterns, pumpkins were simply part of the harvest! Pumpkins have been grown for centuries as an important agricultural crop. Fun fact, the earliest jack-o’-lanterns were actually carved from turnips! #FCFD #TravelBackTuesday #Pumpkins #Fall
