Innovative Production Practices in the Southeast, A Cotton Grower’s Perspective

Neal Isbell

ABSTRACT

Today I want to discuss our experience with variable rate spraying on Isbell Farms. This is not something all that new. A lot of people have been working with this technology for years. The system to get this technology to the farm is what I think is innovative. The company we are working with is Intime, Inc. The reason I believe this is innovative for cotton production is that we don’t have to be experts on computers, or have a computer expert on staff. The process works like this. First you identify your field boundaries and Intime sets you up on their web site. You have a password to get into your information. Next you set up your sprayer. If you start from scratch the cost will be around 6 to 8 thousand dollars. If you are already doing some precision work you will have some of the parts and software that you will need to get set up.
