That cotton beller is impressive. I've never seen these close-up views of a cotton bell being made before. I just always see the bells in fillds as I drive by. And that tractor with the bell spears on the back looks downright medieval! Can I affix those bell spears to the back of my pickup to prevent tailgaters? Pretty cool stuff!

Why? The bale module weighs 4,000 to 5,000 pounds. Raw cotton was selling for .50 a pound that's a minimum of $200 a bale. The cotton picker break even cost is 2,500 bales.

This brings back some memories of my childhood. In the late 80's my parents would send me and my sister to stay with my grandpa in Kenneth Mo part of the summer. Can always tell when cotton picking season was started. You would see loose cotton blowing in the wind and would also see the cotton carts going through town on the way to the gin. My dad was a Marine recruiter in the bootheel region on Missouri out of Sikeston Mo in the late 80's. As a child it was a culture shock coming from a beach town in Southern California to the farm lands of Missouri. But as a adult I relocated to Kansas City Mo and learned to love the midwest. Sorry about rambling on. Love the channel.

It basically is an economic decision as what a farmer can get for a crop based on what it costs to grow. When I was growing up in the 50's and 60's a lot of cotton was grown in northwestern Louisiana and over to around and south of Dallas, TX. It got to where farmers could make more income from soybeans and other crops and stopped growing cotton. Cotton is still grown in northeast Louisiana from Monroe over to the Mississippi River and on up into Arkansas. The panhandle of Texas is big cotton country now.

No hard time here, just curious relating to market cost per JD round bale. Is my math wrong? Internet cotton bale stats say a standard bale is 500 pounds. This video says each round JD picker bale is about 4000 pounds and 3.5 to 4 market bales are in each round bale. Question: if one round bale is 4000 pounds, at 4 bales per round bale, each market bale would weigh 1000 pounds, not 500. But, at 500 pounds per bale there actually would be 8 market bales in a round bale. I'd like to figure this out to determine selling price per JD picker round bale. Thank you.

+Jack Sak I am not sure. I am not very familiar with cotton. This farm is owned by a friend of me about 4 hours south west of where I live. I rode in the cab with him and got the details. Then I had to remember them and narrate them as I filmed in the field. I think I got what he told me right. Other than the term should be module rather than bale. Narrating in the field was not easy. Now I wait and record on my computer. This helps get the facts right.

Bigtractorpower, thank you for your excellent videos and reply. I just began watching and grew up on a northern New England dairy farm with a substantial lumber mill in the mid-1940s onward. Your videos remind me of our farm which is still there but only for haying. My grandfather had a big diesel one cylinder John Deere with iron drive wheels, metal cleats, for wet Spring work and with more manual levers than I thought possible for one machine. One more thing about your videos, there's nothing more pleasing than seeing a tractor in a field against a tree-line doing work on a green Summer day. You show that in many of your shots. (Love that diesel!)
