It’s been a disappointing couple of days to say the least. It looks like the yields are off 30-35%. I attribute almost all of that to hurricane Laura and Beta. The cotton did not pick very cleanly and was strung out or knocked to the ground. There just isn’t much I could do about it other than sit and watch.
Where do we go from here is a good question. The past few falls have been wet but hopefully we can get all our fall deep tillage done. Also, I am going to plant a cover crop of cereal Rye and clover blend to try and improve the soil structure. I hope The China deal continues and prices ease up some. I would love for corn to get to a profitable price for 2021, but we aren’t there yet. We will wait and see.
Thought you might enjoy a picture of the latest and greatest cotton picker. This bad boy has more computer capability than a 747, retails for $780,000. Yes, you read that right. My guy owns 6 of them.
