I never realized how weather could turn a cotton harvest into such a challenge. Props to these farmers for pushing through and keeping the industry alive, even when the odds are against them! 🙌
great musics enjoy your videos be safe God bless.
Really enjoying this channel.
Great video! We too are struggling with an extremely muddy harvest. We still lack about 1800 acres N of Floydada but we ended up purchasing a 12 row cs770 to help finish up harvest. Love the videos and keep up the great work!
Did you get that one from western Floydada?
@ we sure did!
I've been in floydada worked in the pumpkin and cotton. Great town. Good luck in ur harveste
@@rubenbenitez8225 appreciate it
That’s gonna be a fun thing to pay for with 60 cent cotton
Farming is definitely not for the weak hearted! Thanks for taking us along on your journey. 😊
Sure isn’t. You’re welcome. Thanks for the support!

Blessings from South Texas 🙏
Great video. Keep them coming. 👍🤘
Thanks for the encouragement! That’s the plan.
You are doing a great job considering the field conditions.
Thank you.
Hammer down … Them basket strippers are the best .. 7460 all the way !! There paid for
They have been good machines so far. Along with everything else they will eventually get worn out 😬
We almost got all our cotton hailed out late June and had to replant about 100 acres of cotton luckily most of it survived
Same for us. We replanted a lot of cotton this year. Our thinner cotton seemed to actually do better than where we replanted.
@@wildwestfarmer we had pretty thin cotton looked pretty good, only made about one to two bales an acre.
Hey, how well do those PTO driven "vacuums" work on the boll buggies? I haven't seen you guys use one yet but they look handy. We use to have a Oak cotton basket on each module builder that you drug around, filled it and dumped it into the module builders. We also used them in the Cotton Gin to pick up over flow cotton. Hand made oak wood strips weaved into a basket. Down in Dallas County Alabama. Most of the people that could make them have died off and thats a shame. Really like your videos and I have passed on your channel to as many of my old farming buddies as I can. Thanks
Thanks so much for your support! The vacuums on the buggies are hydronic fans. They work really well but in super dry conditions we have started many fires with the boll buggy vacuums which is why you haven’t seen us using them. Three buggies have the vacuums and we don’t even have hoses hooked on in preparation to use them.
Where can I get a cap that you are wearing in this video?
The hat come with a story… i have to wear my own logo hat now. Maybe someday we will start selling them.
Mississippi farmers laughing at what you call muddy.
Can you explain “cover crops”?
“Cover crops are grown to cover the soil and improve the health of the soil .. primarily grown to benefit future crops” (according to Google). They add back nutrients to the soil and prevent erosion.
@@dalemccary6526 out here in west Texas we will often plant wheat as a cover crop in the fall. Then terminate it in April using roundup herbicide, and follow that by planting cotton, without doing any tillage, into the wheat residue. That provides seedling cotton protection from blowing sand and it helps shade the ground, conserving a bit of moisture.
Once we get wrapped up with harvest i will work on a cover crop video to help explain the transition from this years cotton crop to cover crops to planting expectations for 2025 crop year.
@
That would be great. I hear a lot about cover crops but don’t know the purpose or benefits. I grew up farming with my dad in the 70’s, but never knew about cover crops.
We enjoy your videos. Thanks
