Raising Cotton $50 Cheaper and Harvesting 75% Faster (Hargettspecial, Nine-Row Cotton Picker)

Jimmy Hargett


 
ABSTRACT

I found by going to 30 inch 2 and 1 skip row pattern, compared to 38" solid, that my input costs for seed, chemicals, and fertilizer were reduced from $50-$70 an acre and with a modified 6 row picker, I can pick 11 acres an hour making the picker 77% faster than a conventional 4 row, 38" machine.
