  • BIG TIME Oklahoma Cotton Planting
    #plant21 #cotton #farmvideo #oklahoma
    In this video I am out in the field with Miller Family Farms as they are planting their 2021 cotton crop. They are using their two John Deere 9470R tractors both pulling a Deere DB Planters. One of the planters is a model DB120 and the other is a DB90 both with some modifications to make them a 32 row planter on 40 inch row spacing. They are planting the cotton "no till" into a cover crop of winter wheat.

    In the Panhandles cotton is planted but one 500# bale is normal dryland yield on a good year. The most I have had near Texhoma is 1.8 bales Here the rainfall is 16 to 18" with elevation up to 3800' We use the previous years wheat and corn as a shepherd to protect the small cotton plant. at $500 a bag there is some expensive genetics going through those planters! Check out the Adobe Walls gin, The worlds largest.

    Great video Mike. The cotton seed is actually a cotton seed coated to make it that size. Natural cotton seed is fuzzy and looks like a skinny football or a fuzzy oat seed.. They used to acid delint the seed before it was used as seed because the fuzz made it hard to plant. Now they coat it to feed better in the new vacuum planters.

  • @LtColDaddy71
    @LtColDaddy71 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice, it does take some horsepower with the bigger planters. I built two DB90' Exact Emerge units on 20's that started life as DB120's and I took the wings off. So far, the Max Emerge on 20" option hasn't been available on of the normal JD menu on anything over 80' and I'd say that is probably due to the fact that in certain conditions it can be tough to maintain the speed that's in the sweet spot for the best precision. They will do it as a dealer option.
    I planted 18k acres of soybeans as custom work conventional till and maintained the 10-11 mph with 570's that are turned up (NOT DELETED) to 675 and can do 725 for a limited time. On my organic no till green planting operation we could keep it over 7 mph, still a very notable improvement
    Their are piles of those big DB frames laying around ever since high speed precision became a thing. Why not deal with the ease of a 60' platform that can plant as much ground per day as you're 90 or 120 used to?

      I don’t know how much tank capacity they have but most cotton comes in about 230,000 seeds per unit. At 23,000 seeds per acre a unit can do 10 acres. Most of the cotton seed usually costs anywhere from $350 to $450 a unit.

    • @boonemiller299

      The cover crop is to merely conserve moisture in protect the plan and and give some shade during the early plant stage . The wheat is usually sprayed with round up and some pre-emerge chemicals before it heads . Down here we hardly see any rain so moisture is usually the make or break for us . Fortunately this year we have had above avg rain fall
