Well, yes, her grandparents could have picked cotton but on farms. I don’t remember there being any plantations in the 50’s, which is when I remember seeing trucks go by, hauling cotton pickers to the fields.

My mother picked cotton on their farm in the 30’s and 40’s. Nobody called it a plantation.
