I was born and raised in Lubbock, TX. Living in KY for most of my life since, it's cool to have found a channel close to where I grew up and still doing cotton " the old fashion way" that I remember as a kid. I don't remember all the tractor models and such but mostly John Deere my uncle ran. Family operation like most back then. Good times and good memories. All those relatives have since passed on but my grandma. Her and I reminisce about those long cotton harvests. Thank you for taking the time to put videos together and show us around your farm. God bless you, your family and your crew.
Always enjoy watching and listening, never fail to learn something. There are a lot different aspects to cotton farming, many things to consider and the upfront cost of the equipment is near mind boggling and you have an excellent crew working with you. Spot on with praise Brother, thanks for the update, keep the vids coming, enjoy watching.
It's outstanding cotton stripping yup that brydstracter it's every now and then. Keep up the great work. Wish I was working 💪 Them tacos though with hot salsa 😮
You sir , are a REAL farmer ! My wifes grandfather would be very impressed with a clean pick as yours is. Please don't come to east Bell county, because you will lose your way back home laughing SO hard at why some of these guys even go through with planting ! All the field rats and mice from 40 miles in all directions can get nesting cotton left in fields here.!!!!!
It’s interesting to see how the varieties change so much across the US. I grow cotton in South Carolina and have never heard of Fibermax. I guess it’s a more western specific cotton. We plant the majority DeltaPine with a fair amount of Nexgen and Stoneville here. There’s a little bit of Phytogen and DynaGrow that gets planted in the area. This is all picker cotton here though
Thanks for your continued interest in the videos. This video features cotton strippers. Cotton strippers are extremely detailed machines. It takes years to truly understand the functionality of the machine. If you watch all our videos it will give you a deeper understanding of how a cotton stripper strip the cotton along with detailed upkeep of the machines.
Here in west Texas the gins are better equipped to gin stripper cotton. In other geographical areas, the gins are not equipped for strippers so they use pickers.
You're exactly 💯 right. Praise God!! His grace and mercy!! AMEN!!!
Amen!

Thanks so much! God bless you & your family too.
That's a real good video. Maybe your best so far. Thank you from an old retired cotton farmer from Post.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Yaaaaaaaa everyone who's ever stripped cotton knows the shake that machine makes about .5 seconds before it locks down the Burr machine lol
The slow grind you feel right before it stops 😂
You got that right! Thanks for watching.
That rumble 😮

Sorry you choked up but it gave me a better understanding of the burr extractor. I would assume the cotton gins up there have extra stick cleaners?

That's interesting to me as well. Thanks for watching & sharing some insight.
Combine Havester maintenance is difficult. How long to study about it?

Fibermax!
You bet!
Damn what a picker
Actually it's a stripper.
That’s a real bollbuggy driver,back away before the stripper drives don’t sit and wait
We defiantly have some of the best there is.
Why do some farmers use cotton pickers when strippers do a much better job? And much less mechanical parts on the front end.
Here in west Texas the gins are better equipped to gin stripper cotton. In other geographical areas, the gins are not equipped for strippers so they use pickers.
