So interesting...great work fellas...thank you for giving us an insight into the quality work all round.

I think Brad was having a bit of a 'Russell Coight' moment with the first driver, Matt.

Amazing footage Brad. We have really enjoyed the full cycle of the cotton.

Nice video Brad, seems old mate wasn't to keen on heading to Walgett 🤣🤣🤣

Great video again Brad, we only ever grew cotton once, back when you had to spray heaps of times and conditions were not the best. We had a picker and should have used a stripper. No profit at the end of the day, even the following crops were down on yield compared to where we had sorghum.

@bobcrawford2105 12 дней назад

Very informative video thanks Brad. Guess the header/ stripper units are high maintenance needing lots of lubricant’s to protect bearing’s

@aussiemate60 12 дней назад

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing 👍

@roberthocking9138 12 дней назад

Great video and drone shots Brad . Very interesting. To the untrained eye it seems to leave quite a bit of cotton behind.

@johng8082 12 дней назад

Yes my thought as well....first thing I thought was need a vacuum cleaner or something to suck up the leftovers, no doubt has been tried but someone will come up with the answer.

@rodrod383 12 дней назад

@@johng8082 it is a lot less than it looks like it is a very small % of the overall crop

@peternewman958 12 дней назад

This cotton was grown to suit a stripper, when grown to suit a picker you get more cotton as the plants are closer together and when picked not as much is left behind. However this was planted not knowing the certainty of rainfall. Picker cotton has been planted with a reliable water source.

Stripper seem to be leaving a lot less cotton that a picker but then the yield is much lower. On those figures 90 big bales x 3.8 cotton bales at 74% yield off 74 ha is about 3.4 bales / ha or 1.4 / acre. @current dpi price of $685 (dryland cotton probably has shorter staple length and lower grade?) minus costs, including the $18 / bale for gladwrap, is better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick. I remember being wrong once before? Great job for taking the bullet on the camera, Brad. Thanks for the video. Good luck with the rest of the stripping.

@rodrod383 12 дней назад

you are good with your numbers for sure, but I bet their yields might be a bit higher and dryland can have some good grades with the newer seed varieties plus there is a seed check for the seed being sold for cattle feed and the molts possibly being sold for other uses.....in the USA sometimes the gin covers the wrap cost too as part of the seed check

@thejacksonbrothers 12 дней назад

Petty close numbers, we will find out when it goes through the gin😁👍 the gladwrap is closer to $50 a round bale I think

I did 18 grape harvests about 12 LONG weeks per season and it was good to see Jim in a "coma" when you jumped in I know the feeling. Picking head speed and ground speed was the trick to a good job there too and not tipping it over in the steep Vineyards. Thanks Brad and Jim and Matt for showing us how it works.

@williammurfin6354 12 дней назад

Hey Brad what was that other tractor towing at night there?? Is that a type of plow to cut the old stalks off???

@shanepfeffer7857 12 дней назад

It looks like the slasher.

@rodrod383 12 дней назад

you have to cut off the stalks or they can start to regrow.....in most parts of the USA you have to so it so that boll weevils will not survive to the next year.....but those are apparently not an issue in Australia....plus the stalks can get in the way of future planting with it being sores for some crops than others

@williammurfin6354 12 дней назад

@@rodrod383 But Matt or Brad said that they are planting --Oh I forgot what he said but he did say they were going plow it to replant afterwards. Anyway I'm sure Matt will pull me up as usual.

@booka83 12 дней назад

The mechanism for lifting and carrying the bales of cotton is what was on the tractor day and night.

@tallboy49 12 дней назад

It was a slasher. They slash the stalks to lessen the long trash then work the ground to rip out the roots so the plant does not start to grow again.

@peterduffy3871 12 дней назад

The new pickers are light years ahead of the old 9965 I used to drive! Still a bit sad to not see boll buggies and module builders

@opel1996 12 дней назад

Why is the row spacing so wide

@rodrod383 12 дней назад

for a dryland area it is skip row......you are betting that you get less rain and the roots will spread especially the upper closer to the surface roots to the clear area to get more available moisture.....even more so if you are getting smaller rains.....in their case this season I think they got some better than average rains

@1brymark 12 дней назад

@villainjohnnoel8075 12 дней назад

Hi from France,i've been following you guys for a while, i've got a really dumb question,would your agricultural operation (your farm) be a big farm,à medium sized farm or a small farm ?i'm asking because here in France farms are alot smaller, from your drone footage those fields look absolutly humungous.Great little chanel by the way.

@thejacksonbrothers 12 дней назад

Thanks! We are probably considered a medium farm, our biggest paddock is 300ha but our average paddock size would be 50-100ha

@DG-ne8iq 12 дней назад

Hello, We don't grow cotton in France. Which is better: pickers with brush rollers, or traditional pickers with tapered barbed spindles? what's the point of alternating 2 rows of cotton with a cereal crop: limited useful soil water reserves?,thenk you very much.

@stuartcarter3649 12 дней назад

Brilliant that video BRAD-STAR. 👍🇦🇺

@johnjordan4647 12 дней назад

Hey Brad can you explain for us uninitiated why do they harvest a row of cotton then leave the next row and go to the next.

@booka83 12 дней назад

Turning at the end of the rows. Leaving a run between makes it easier on the machines especially with the wide heads out the front. See it all the time harvesting and sometimes planting.

@carltauber2939 12 дней назад

This is really interesting, I've never seen cotton being harvested before. May I ask what the difference is between a stripper and a picker?

@jefftheaussie2225 12 дней назад

The stripper uses brushes to flick the cotton off as Brad showed us, a picker uses lots of spindles with small teeth on them to wind the cotton off. They turn one way to wind the cotton on then reverse to wind it off again. Very expensive and complicated set up. The worn out spindles make good welding chipping hammers but how many of them do you need? The stripper looks quite a simple set up in comparison. I wonder how well it works when the plant wants to pull out?

@aussieshane89 12 дней назад

What are yas going to do with all the woody stems left? Will you burn them or plow them in? They look more like sticks then stubble

@thejacksonbrothers 12 дней назад

In the night drone footage you might of briefly seen a tractor pulling a big slasher with basically chops them up👍😁 unfortunately we weren’t able to get much footage of it happening

@Bructer21 12 дней назад

Why do they carry the bail around with them for sometime

@leonbystrzanowski 8 дней назад

To try to row them up and make collection more efficient

@Foz300 12 дней назад

What the hell are we growing cotton in Australia for? Isn’t this the wrong climate or are they pulling out excessive water from our river systems?

@raeanker3078 12 дней назад

And your point of expertise is in what.

@peterrayner7659 12 дней назад

It is the perfect climate and this cotton is grown using rain and no irrigation

@rodrod383 12 дней назад

their crop is dryland no irrigation and they made the decision so they could use different weed control chemicals to break the weed pattern and get rid of some persistent weeds

Allied question. What are you doing? You are using up precious air that another useful person could use. Next thing you will want all trucks off the road - or have you gotten past that question? Also what is your real name instead of hiding behind a pseudonym?

@PeteWilliams-sb7nf 12 дней назад

Great video Brad very informative,do you get paid per bale or per tonneau depending on quality purity etc,and was the cotton crop worth planting ?

@thejacksonbrothers 12 дней назад

Seems like it was worth growing but we won’t know the true figures until it goes through the gin👍

@jefftheaussie2225 12 дней назад

We went down the Newell a week ago and there was lot of cotton round the Gin at Moree. Lots of bales in the paddocks too. Looks like it might have been a good year for cotton. They are still trying to strip sorghum further north, certainly around Pittsworth, it has been very wet up there. Sprouted sorghum is something you don’t hear of often.
