I took notice of the planting of my 20 acre field beside my house recently. The neighbor farmer grows about 1,000 acres of cotton & peanuts along with running some cows. Typical fields run much smaller in South Georgia than out west, maybe 75 acres along with smaller equipment. Lots of short road trips.
January - soil sampled with an ATV mounted rig
February - buggy broadcasted lime
March - sprayed with Roundup for winter weeds, mostly goat grass
- mapped out the field using GPS and subsoiled the rows
April - buggy broadcasted fertilizer
April 30th - planted the cotton seed exactly in the subsoiled rows using GPS
May 7 (yesterday) - cotton is up to 1 inch high
Other than subsoiling it was not tilled, harrowed, or bedded.
