What was a difficulty of cotton production? a. cotton grew best in cool climates. b. cotton gins were expensive. c. cotton farming wore out the soil. d. cotton farmers lacked cheap labor.

C. Cotton farming wore out the soil a lot more than any other product.

Explanation:

The reason why cotton production was a difficult business was because Cotton farming wore out the soil a lot more than any other product. This is because it needs way more water compared to other products. This excess water causes the soil to become eroded and degrade over time. Pile that on to the fact that Cotton fields are one of the fields to use the most amount of pesticides and herbicides which also affect the soil. When the cotton is all picked farmers would need to fertilize the whole field again for next years crops.
