Farmers may save money in the long run by switching from electric to diesel, natural gas, or propane-powered irrigation pumps, but fuel cost trends are hard to predict. A new computer program can help growers compare potential costs of all four irrig

Although narrow rows yielded more and reduced production costs, strippers caused more harvesting and ginning problems than spindle-picked cotton in normal rows. Cover photo shows cotton stripper with experimental brush-type stripper head for harvesti

Kidney beans become very susceptible to mechanical damage at moisture levels below 11.5% to 12%. It is important, therefore, to harvest early at higher moisture and to minimize mechanical impact during threshing and warehousing operations.

Fresh market onions traditionally have been harvested by hand throughout the nation. A tractor-drawn horizontal blade severs the root system just below the bulbs; then tops and roots are clipped off with hand shears. The bulbs are stored in the field

Pallets used in the module system for handling and storing seed cotton are awkward to manage, are easily damaged, and represent a large capital investment. The Reynolds module mover, which first became commercially available in 1975, picks up and hau

Lint yields of Acala cotton varieties were increased an average of 10.9% by planting in narrow rows. Increases were even greater in a few genotypes better adapted to the higher plant populations provided by narrow rows. This research demonstrates the

The study reported here indicates that total picker-to-gin costs per bale can be significantly lower with the module system than with the conventional trailer system or ricking. If a grower already has trailers, the module system requires considerabl
