Did You Know…About Cotton!

Tech played New Mexico yesterday and I bet you didn't know it was also a celebration for the king in Texas: Cotton.

If you were present to watch Tech wreck New Mexico, then you may have noticed the 'Thank Your Farmer' sub-theme. Fans received cotton items like T-shirts and Koozies all while learning fun facts about our state's King crop.

Blake even has a Raider Vision video to share with you about it. You should definitely check out the link!

Enjoy some facts below about cotton:

Cotton definitely is King in Texas because Texas is the largest producer of cotton in the nation!

The plant has been grown and used in India for at least 5000 years and probably for much longer.

One bale of cotton can make: 215 Jeans, 1,256 Pillowcases, 313,600 $100 Bills!

You can actually do some good 'ole home cookin' with Cotton Oil.
