On to some better cotton + the end of peanut harvest

[@sarah_farm]

I hope you will continue to show us your traditional cooking. It’s better than watching all those world famous chefs . Also your traditional attire and lifestyle are so wholesome , healthy and peaceful. It’s very soothing watching your videos . And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

whaw.. no tree in sight. stuff nature, ,this is the way WE do it today.. Amazing.. Rock on desert within 3 ears..

[@jimmcginty2344]

Learned a lot about cotton harvest. I didn’t know there was a picker and stripper. Good job of explaining the difference. Thank you Conley

[@wisconsinfarmer4742]

My neighbor does no-till. Now I am sold on it, especially during dry wind.

[@sergeantwilliams8185]

The constant reversing of the stripper because of tumbleweeds was kinda funny 😄 Back and forth… back and forth… 😂

[@conleybanman]

It’s not so funny when your the one in the stripper 😂

[@sergeantwilliams8185]

@@conleybanman Lol… I guess not 😂 Just kidding… just kidding…

[@olbuck]

Extremely interesting from a corn and soybean perspective. It is amazing the adaptations that have been made to harvest some difficult crops. Thanks for the explanations. Great video.

[@davidcolgan3268]

Good explanation of how a stripper works. I worked at Deere Des Moines Works back in the ‘90’s and was involved with a number of the design updates back then like the intro of the 7460 at the Lubbock Farm Show. I enjoy follow farmers across the country.

[@conleybanman]

Wow what a small world and Lubbocks only an hour away

[@rajkumarlodhi2757]

Very👍👍 nice brother. I like this video

[@benburns5995]

Congratulations on finishing up your peanut harvest. I could hardly believe all of the cotton dust on the top of the combine, that was crazy. It looked like vents on the top of the Stripper, I am surprised they still worked with all the cotton dust accumulation.

[@larrycaughron1321]

It's good to to see good Gaines co. cotton being stripped again. Keep up the good work....fron the Loop longhorn.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

So glad you explained the difference between a picker & stripper. Field Rows uses a picker & those spindles are a lot to clean out & maintain.

[@conleybanman]

Oh yea we have both so i can relate

[@tommathews3964]

Oh, you ain't lived until you clean out a bunch of spindles! We clean daily and it can be quite a mess! We run two pickers and no strippers, so lots of spindle cleaning and pad maintenance!

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Round balers eliminates the bowl buggy & module builder. Jim, from Field Rows is trying to get his dad to invest in one. Right now they have 3 ppl working in a cotton field, I’d think the fuel & labor savings would be a good pitch.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Cotton prices (corn too) are up this year, SO fertilizer & fuel prices tripled. I SWEAR farmer’s are just not allowed to get ahead! The govt has all but torn the land away from family farms, to sell to corporate farms(which is why illegals flood the border at harvest season) makes me sick.

[@nkkhunti9501]

Hey good job men

[@davidrobinson8588]

Just interested in where you farm? I grew up on a cotton farm near Vernon Tx, boy things have sure changed!

[@conleybanman]

We’re south of Lubbock

[@pedromorgan99]

So dont complain when u got a dust bowl today

[@joescheller6680]

Must not have row finders like corn head to keep it on the row

[@doskraut]

I grew up on a cotton farm with people picking cotton, looked like a lot of waste cotton on the ground.

[@conleybanman]

It looks worse than it actually is.

[@doskraut]

@@conleybanman My guess is something like one cotton bale per acres or about 450 lbs per acres

[@conleybanman]

It’s more like 100 pounds or less

[@doskraut]

@@conleybanman Sure it is.

[@piperdoug428]

Yeah we get cochia up here in Manitoba, really loves saline areas

[@nikhilbhale79]

The soil doesn't look black. In my place in India cotton is planted on what is called "black cotton soil".

[@sharafzadehamin3037]

Hello, good time. How much cotton do you harvest per hectare of land? Thank you for your attention

[@sunrise_sunshine]

Really nice to watch it, I want to be a farmer too but i hear negative about it :( . In India farming is different from your country especially the technology and types of equipment you have, we are lack those and still follow the traditional method (especially labours are major drawbacks here and they don't want to work on the field, in fact, they look for the easy earnings.).

[@pwood5733]

How do you manage to stay awake and or avoid going insane sat there doing nothing all day ?

[@conleybanman]

I dunno it comes naturally I guess

[@D4m4g3d]

Seems like there is a good bit of fluff on the ground (guessing its the seeds). What % of the cotton does that beast get from the field vs whats left?

[@conleybanman]

It looks like a lot that’s left behind but it’s really not that much it’s maybe 1-2% the fibers get stretched out and they look bigger than what they are

[@bobwest2807]

How did your peanuts yield this year? I am guessing above average

[@conleybanman]

Really good I’d say we averaged at least 6,500 pounds per acre

[@michelleling2612]

Well, an eye-opening experience watching your video. What is the equipment that you were using to clean your cotton stripper at the end of the video?

[@conleybanman]

Just a big air compressor 😅

Ever drive the cotton stripper down town so everyone can see the big gear you’ve got?

[@conleybanman]

Haha oh yea I did once was kinda fun

[@billsmith8739]

Why do you spray the cotton for? Too kill it?

[@conleybanman]

Yes to kill it You have to in order to harvest it

[@chrisgeorge6321]

What's the advantages of having a cotton picker over a cotton stripper?

[@conleybanman]

I Just uploaded a new video explaining a bit more

[@chrisgeorge6321]

@@conleybanman thanks, I just got finished watching it. Great vid 👌

[@rustenallred165]

Why do you use the stripper instead of picker? Less trash In fields?

[@conleybanman]

It depends on what kind of cotton you have I’m gonna make a video explaining why

[@peteklassen135]

In what town do y'all harvest in

[@conleybanman]

Gaines and Yoakum county mostly

[@rexmathis8340]

Changing out saw drums on a stripper sucks balls.

Hey What you like more a picker or a stripper

[@conleybanman]

Probably picker since you don’t have to worry as much about fires

[@chuckwilliams9090]

Think you may be talking to much.

[@conleybanman]

Sometimes 😂but I like to be different and explain everything I’m doing
