BIG TIME Oklahoma Cotton Planting 

Mike, You hit a home run with this one.. Oklahoma engineering, that's what we do, Make things happen.....

My neighbor is from Roosevelt OK. He goes back every late spring to help his Dad with the wheat harvest. His Dad must be in his 80's but still farms away.

Great video Mike. You are so right about the giant tractors and planters, no matter the color, you gotta be inspired by machinery like that! Hey everyone, give Mike a "Like".

Awesome video. Great seeing two JD articulated tractors in the same field.

I an just amazed at the farming implements you come across and share with us. Then when I was wondering what the treated seed looks and you grabbed a handful and showed me. I like Mike.

Great video Mike. Be awesome to see a harvest video of the same fields.

Hi there Mike, I wouldn’t mind working on that farm learning all there is to learn….

Great video! Thanks a lot for sharing!😊👍🏻

Big boys planting big acres. Pretty awesome Mike.😁👍👍

Great video Mike ,beautiful scenery love the big green equipment.

Good Morning, Great Mike less Video, Thanks for sharing

Mike I just amazes me how much farming has changed in 25 years

Boone Miller definitely has an impressive Instagram operation 👍🏽

You talk about getting into your work, man those closeup views right at the back of the machine was it. Outstanding work sir. Really enjoy your work and effort in every video. Godspeed brother.

perfectionism

Great video Mike. The cotton seed is actually a cotton seed coated to make it that size. Natural cotton seed is fuzzy and looks like a skinny football or a fuzzy oat seed.. They used to acid delint the seed before it was used as seed because the fuzz made it hard to plant. Now they coat it to feed better in the new vacuum planters.

Great drone footage of both beast and planters

Awesome video Mike. Really enjoyed this one. Very nice there.

I was thinking to myself I wonder what cotton seed looks like? Then Mike comes thru and shows us. Another great video Mike thank you

Yep 45 years ago I was moving lines in a cotton field in lost hills Ca. there were just Coyotes out there back then.

Eat in Mears when you're down in the Wichita Mountain area. You won't regret it.

The DB planter is an impressive machine👍😁 as always, nice video😉👍

Cool. Nothing runs like a Deere. If it ain't green... It ain't mean!!!

That is one good looking John Deere and air drill. Honestly, they look glorious

In the Panhandles cotton is planted but one 500# bale is normal dryland yield on a good year. The most I have had near Texhoma is 1.8 bales Here the rainfall is 16 to 18" with elevation up to 3800' We use the previous years wheat and corn as a shepherd to protect the small cotton plant. at $500 a bag there is some expensive genetics going through those planters! Check out the Adobe Walls gin, The worlds largest.

I can see it says "cover crop" in the description.. but did they not harvest the wheat at all? I thought they'd harvest the wheat first. Unless my eyes are deceiving me lol..

👍👍from oklahoma

Nice job Mike!

Nice one Mike your videos shots a amazing will you be able to go back for harvest or not anyway thanks again 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I have personally harvested cotton in March due to having a wet fall

I suppose they also have a 120ft cotton harvester that compliments the planter 😎

man that would be one long day in that field with my two 12 row planters.

That area has had 6-8+ inches of rain the past week, so the cotton should be off to a good start!

Very nice, it does take some horsepower with the bigger planters. I built two DB90' Exact Emerge units on 20's that started life as DB120's and I took the wings off. So far, the Max Emerge on 20" option hasn't been available on of the normal JD menu on anything over 80' and I'd say that is probably due to the fact that in certain conditions it can be tough to maintain the speed that's in the sweet spot for the best precision. They will do it as a dealer option. I planted 18k acres of soybeans as custom work conventional till and maintained the 10-11 mph with 570's that are turned up (NOT DELETED) to 675 and can do 725 for a limited time. On my organic no till green planting operation we could keep it over 7 mph, still a very notable improvement Their are piles of those big DB frames laying around ever since high speed precision became a thing. Why not deal with the ease of a 60' platform that can plant as much ground per day as you're 90 or 120 used to?

Great video

Enjoy the video thank you

The hugest planter I have seen and cool footage. Does this farm strip or pick their cotton, and how many acres do they grow?

In Texas cotton is the first planting of a 3 to four year apart spreading of chicken manure.

You are right I always thought Oklahoma was flat as a table. Thanks for once again opening my eyes to new things. I was wondering how big is a cotton seed? I imagine it's very small, like alfalfa or canola. Am I close? Thanks for sharing.

Hopefully they have a John Deere combine for the harvest

Hé, Mike. Great job. These cottonplants in jour garden, can you harvest it, can you do somthing with that cotton? I work in a treenursery, so if you ever get to a nursery? ... . Greetz from Belgium.

Maybe one day you can make it a little further south and film peanuts planting

Wichita Indian here. That’s in Red Dirt country.

👍👍

Since they're double-cropping, I assume they're planting into wheat harvested via a stripper head since it doesn't look like it was harvested via a conventional head.

Great video Mike!

Hello what is the field size please?

Why do they plant such wide rows. Awsome vedio

I know that guy!

👏👏👏👍

You didn't go and visit Tim at the National Cowboy museum while down that way then..

hi mike. can i ask you small question :). Will this cotton planted land be irrigation? Or will it not be irrigation? we cannot produce cotton without irrigation in my country. If there is an irrigation system, what kind of system is it?

No-till?

Bet a farm that size has about 10 or more pickers.

Great video Mike . How many acres are you able to plant when the planter is filled ? I know around Winfield Kansas is some cotton and I didn't even know that. I live 50 miles south of Topeka Ks & plant corn , wheat and beans ,, several farmers are double cropping wheat to beans & back to wheat constantly . Thanks again Mike for your great & informative videos .

✌️🇧🇷🇧🇷✌️

how do they get enough weight on the end of the bar to notil?

How ar thay fertilizing that???

Why are they planting directly into the cover crop….am I missing something here?

I like Mike less videos on RU-vid.
