my farm represents roughly about a 12,000 acre farm. this is just my crew for corn, beans, wheat, and milo. i also chop sielage and cut hay in addition to this. im adding 500 acres of cotton this year, so my farm is about 12,500 total acres. for cotton i run the brand new John Deere all-in-one cotton picker.


questions and comments are welcome. let me know what you think

[ghurley]

where is this farm located

[farmboy64]

this farm is based on a mid-western/ southern farm

[farmboy64]

if you have any advice for me, let me know

[ghurley]

Well one of them cotton pickers is like 500,000 dollars it would take a long time to pay for that with 500 acres I would drop some of the grain acres and put them in cotton to justify the cotton picker.

[farmboy64]

im probably goin to. but i dont know

[ghurley]

...but if you dont use one of them you have to get a module builder and thats a $100 are more.we plant about 300 acres of cotton in real life and we use a 9960 4 row john deere.
