Great video Casey I’m 73 year old retired farmer. I have enjoyed your videos all fall this year, you seem like a Christen and I pray for you and your family…
Great video Casey you really did a great job this year taking us on your farming journey. You really explain things so that folks that aren't familiar where and how we get our jeans and hoodies, and such come from. Keep up the good work and I'll catch you in your next video👍👍.
It amazes me as to how much lint is left on the stalks, falls out of the stripper/picker in the field when dumped and also beside the modules when the buggies dump into the builder. I remember in the ;'50's.60's planting linted cotton seed -it came in 3 bushel sacks (100#) then changed to more manageable 2 bushel (67#) then in later years the "delinted" 50# sacks. We grew what was referred to as stormproof" cotton - the bolls did not open as wide to help keep the cotton in the boll during rain and wind storms. In Terry County (Meadow).
Also, there is seed and burrs still in the cotton in the module, which adds a lot of weight. An average module weighs 20,000-25,000 lbs., although I’ve seen them up to 33,000.

Can you add black worker to your cotton farm?
Really enjoy your videos. Great job. Just wonder how long have ya been running 50/30 rows. God bless!
Thank you!! We have been running 50/30 for about 6 or 7 years
Which gin hauls your modules off?
Enjoyed the cotton harvest. Has anyone crashed the field bike yet?
Glad you enjoyed. So far it’s just been for chasing my kids and showing off for them 😂
East Arkansas here the cotton seed here gets pressed into cooking oil
Same here in West Texas
It does here in west Texas as well.
What is the tape buried in the field and what’s its purpose.
For water , irrigation drip tape…
Irrigation tape. It has little holes that emit water every couple inches. It puts the water deeper down than just over the top
One of those modules is only 500 pounds ?? I noticed a fan on the front of the buggy, what is that for ? thanks.
A bale weighs approximately 500 lbs. Those big square modules you see are approximately 14 bales. (13-15).
Also, there is seed and burrs still in the cotton in the module, which adds a lot of weight. An average module weighs 20,000-25,000 lbs., although I’ve seen them up to 33,000.
A bale does weigh 500 lbs. Our stripper cotton modules average 14-18,000 lbs and only contain 11 1/2 - 12 1/2 bales per module.
No one bail of cotton is 500 pounds. They're more likely thin bales than they're.
That where the profit is as t the last twenty ft
No actually it was the next 20 feet beyond the end 🤪
You sure miss a lot of cotton when your stripping the cotton from the plants
It’s not as much as what it looks. But these last few fields were tagging (leaving more behind) than usual due to the rain we got.
How much is cotton worth to you?
It’s been trading for 65-69 cents per pound
