There’s always been a piece of equipment for sale there for as long as I can remember. When I’m up that way I always see what’s new for sale.

Keefe is the man , you need to get a patent on them and sell them 👍

Enjoyed the video. Glad y'all were able to take some time off to enjoy the holidays. Gives you time to recharge and get ready for the awesome harvest season this year. Keep up the awesome videos.

Love watching your videos. I live in Indiana and my brother farms 5000 acres of corn and soybeans, so I'm familiar with that. But it's interesting to see cotton and peanut production. Wondered if you missed the storm. Our kids, grandkids and great grandkids live in or near Graceville, so we heard about that. It was on TV here too I believe Keefe could fix anything! Great idea on his vacuum. I'm a retired local 181 crane operator and built three of the Ohio River bridges. We used that same design, called an air lift pump, to pump water out of caissons on the river. Maybe a forty foot long 6 inch pipe with a 2 or 3 inch air line welded to it hooked to a huge compressor and lifted by the crane. Keep up the good work and God bless you all! Actually on an air lift the air is pushed down and forces the water up. Love the ingenuity though!

Great to add a 2nd cotton picker. Are you going to add more acres of cotton or just try to finish quicker? The vacuum idea for cleaning out the oats is great, I think I can adapt that for some of my cleaning projects. Keefe is always thinking. Thanks for bringing us along. Have a productive year

Well you didn't come to my house but when you came to Savannah you were within 50 miles. Hope you guys have a good year. Matter of fact I hope we all have a good one. Unless cotton prices change considerably, we will drop some cotton acres. Soybeans are actually beginning to look attractive again

I wish cotton was above 90 cents around here in nc Carolina it’s 78 cents and $700 is expensive my boss did 110 acres it’s cotton price is not like it use to be

@chrissyfrancis8952 6 ай бұрын

Bet you’re so excited to get a new picker. Triple R Farms from Alabama said they’re not planning to even plant cotton next year bc the prices are so low. They plant a variety of crops though & can make that switch. How are peanut prices looking?

Need to look into a Paddle buggy. Sam stevens or crust buster. We use them in stripper country. I don't see why you couldn't us them with a picker.

Jim, Do you own the peanut processor down the road from your shop? That's one heck of a facility.

No my grandfather and another lady used to own it. They sold it in 2004 and a group of 8 farmers inculding my dad bought it

I saw where Triple R farms said they weremt growing any cotton at all this year and there down around Birmingham. Have you heard about any farmers in your area cutting back on cotton production or not growing at all? They said the prices are just to cheap and they must be cheap to have a million dollar picker that will just be setting in the barn this year

@FieldRows 6 ай бұрын

Yeha the price of cotton is not great for sure, gotta make 2 bale to make some money. Inputs are much higher on cotton vs peanuts so no not room for a poor crop

@jackweeks8099 6 ай бұрын

We thought two pickers would double the acres we could pick too. Turns out it only doubled the headaches! 😂 We had one picker running and one picker torn up up at all times it seemed.

@FieldRows 6 ай бұрын

Yeah another reason we got another is so out of the 2 hopefully one will be running. We lost prolly 7 days picking this year due to mechanical failures this year

120 hours a year picking cotton is the harvest window that short for it don’t really know anything about cotton production since i live way north lol

@FieldRows 6 ай бұрын

Usually around 2 months for us too cover around 800 acres. A Lot of down time though due to weather and waiting to defoliate.

why don’t you buy cp690 or cs770 instead this 2? also they have baler on their back🤣

@FieldRows 6 ай бұрын

Couple reasons. Will have to borrow money to afford a CP 690. This picker and our old one our paid for. Thankfully we have the help to run the basket pickers. Would it be nice to run a 770 or even a CP 690, heck yes!! But at this time it makes more senses financially to run a basket picker
