Who is up for a road trip?

@TexChik is that cotton?

@akindheart yes on one of our places

@TexChik wow. that is neat. how do you harvest it?

@akindheart it looks all white and bushy because a crop duster sprayed defoliant on there and makes the leaves fall off and the boles open . We use combines . There’s still a lot on the ground after harvest and there are people that we let come in and pick all that up ... maybe a bale or two... but to them It’s good money

@TexChik that is very cool. we have farms here and the farmers let people and charities "glean" the fields...or else they would plow it under

@akindheart that’s what we do ! Believe it or not , that’s dry land cotton. We didn’t irrigate this year ... saved us a ton on electricity ! We fertilized just before a rain and it’s been wet this year . That’s 2.7 bales /acre crop . The best we’ve ever done on that pasture .

@TexChik Cotton fields! 😏 If you've ever had to pick cotton you KNOW what hard work is! 😳

@Peaches pick it, hoe it, move irrigation pipe , ugh
