It can tell when a boll is ripe, and only picks the ripe ones. If you look close at the field it didn’t get all the cotton; they’ll come back in a couple weeks and go over the field again.

If you grow “stripper cotton” that gets left in the field until the whole crop is ripe, there’s a different machine for that. They look the same so you can probably buy both a picker head and a stripper head to do both crops.
