It looks good 👍 👌
Thanks for update. How many bales per hour will they be able to gin?
Awesome video brother
Eric is father of the year. Good man. Thank you .
Thank you!
Thank you Erin. Appreciate the information.
Your welcome.
Praying for you all! Cotton gin is looking great ,great job!! Hope things get better soon. On a smaller note How are the sunflowers? Great videos 👍
Thank you.
Sunflowers are drying down and it’s going to make a great dove hunt!
Thanks for the gin update!! Hopefully this rain will help
Your welcome!
Had a bad drought in Mississippi last year. Late but Dry after planting, really wet June then never rained again after the Fourth of July. Had pretty good lower boll in cotton but mid and top crop just aborted. Had bolls drying open. It was bad. Had no clue what to expect on yield. Ended up about 650lbs.
Good video
Thanks Head Lady !! Good luck to all. Thanks
Will the gin updated increase the capacity? Being from the north I would like to see the gin when it is up and running
Yes it will double the output speed.
That's a great investment sounds like cotton is coming back strong!
It’s never left our area. Our acres are pretty consistent around here.
I would love to see a REED COTTON GIN TH-cam channel start up I’m sure hoping y’all can get up and running before cotton season starts
I can’t handle 2 of them. 🤣
Rainfall resulting from the mountain.... is The Orographic Effect. Air masses are forced to flow over high topography. As air rises over mountains, it cools and water vapor condenses. As a result, it is common for rain to be concentrated on the windward side of mountains, and for rainfall to increase with elevation in the direction of storm tracks.
Nice one informqtive video
Hello! God speed!
Just remember a dry year will scare you to death. A wet year will break ya.
I know nothing about a cotton gin, but really enjoyed Erin doing the update. As for the crop conditions, you do what you can and hope for the best. You will do it again next year and again hope for better conditions. Thanks for sharing.
I think the gin went to france
From south limestone
Most of it is sitting on our yard right now.
Always hated the dreaded high pressure system over us
Yea when it does that there is no way it can rain.
what is the date?
2 weeks ago.
I just tripped across your channel. I had to do some Google searches to figure out where you are using the name of the fellow running for sheriff and your reference to going into Alabama to spray. Figured out you are In Lincoln County Tennessee which is straight north across from Huntsville Alabama. I have small farm in the middle of Kansas. We’re in a third consecutive year of drought. Normal annual rain fall in this part of the state is between 30 and 32 inches. Last year we barely got 20 and none of it came at the right time. We’re already about five or six inches below normal for this year. I can definitely feel your pain. Are you primarily a seed dealer or are do you grow certified seed from foundation seed etc.? I noticed all the signs in your building. The DeltaPine sign got my attention. They don’t get a lot of business up here but cotton acres have been growing in south central Kansas in recent years. My grandfather was a section manager for the original Delta and Pine Land Company from 1921 to about 1948 when he started farming for himself in Mississippi. He was manager of the 5000 acre Eutaw plantation which was between Scott and Benoit Mississippi where my mother grew up and went to school. He was there during the change from horses to tractor farming. You probably know that DeltaPine is still headquartered at Scott. During those years Delta and Pine Land Company was owned by the Fine Spinners Association of Manchester England. At 38,000 acres Delta and Pine Land was the world’s largest cotton plantation. My grandfather’s family was close friends with the Early Ewing family. Mr. Early Ewing, Sr. was the chief agronomist, researcher and plant breeder for Delta and Pine Land. His research led to world famous developments and improvements of cotton.
"They are getting good at it"👩🦲
Not being a smart A but that ear of corn wasn’t toooo bad seen some way worse in KY😢. THANKS SIR.
And he's the last one at the end of the year to get paid!!! Thomas, Mississippi!!
Mr Reed if I could send some of this rain we are getting here in west tennessee I would surely send some ur way you need some rain bad down ur way ur corn looks like it needs it bad especially ur cotton maybe with the good lords help u will get you some rain down that way
Thank you!
Liberty herbicide is awesome tool for Us Cotton Farmers !
Climate smart farming-time to start looking at it? Droughts are depressing.
Tommy ain’t working for yall anymore?
No. He quit back In January.
I think tommy went awol lol Mr Reed said he gave him a bonus and he never showed back up but he has two good people working for him now from what I've seen on his videos
it's going to be a struggle to to get 300 bu corn with that field.
We had one in the late 70's and early 80's, I never worked as hard in my life...in Arkansas heat, all night adventure, pulling out and being there when it came in...Pablo and amino gonna earn their pay...get timing set for repull before dark...
dose the front laoder on your 1025 have quick hitch on it if not where did you get the loader forks at for it as for the hose look up boarder view farms here on tube and see where he got the hose for his new unit
Here in northwest Tennessee, our wardens are lax on the deer killing they give nuisance permits to just about everyone that applies
We finally have a year where’s it’s been raining but I got hailed out two weeks ago. Everyone else’s crops look good though lol.
You have twice the corn crop there that we have😂
Farming is just like gambling some years you make it some years you don’t maybe you’ll break even
Another channel I watch just sold their Hard Nosed Traveler back in the winter and replaced it with a 360 Rain.
Does the skip row not work for you? How does the 40 inch on your brother-in-law hold up? I understand hot and dry night and day but just wondering if one held up better thanks.
Makes no difference on a year like this.
360 yield machine will help!
Have you decided that if you need me to help you on the farm and I can drive anything on the farm and this is Tim your Buddy and stay safe
I can probably hook you up on the traveler hose

Rain flo ...they will fix you up
Thanks
Very nice Fireworks.....glad you and your family could enjoy the holiday....
Crop looks 10x worse in south Alabama. Praying for rain
Did you get any rain yet?
We were dry here in Iowa the last 3 years. Our lawns were brown in June last year. On August 2 last year we got a 6 inch rain. That saved our butts. The crops this year look good except where the land lays low and we had a flash flood at the beginning of July. Every year is different.
Its a bad ass truck 😎🫡
If you don’t understand me I’m saying it in a good way 😅
That's an awesome looking crop...💯👍
what part of alabama northeast northwest or north central?
