Your Problem
Centuries ago at the dawn of agriculture, crops were planted on raised beds
in thick virgin topsoil. Compaction was limited to footpaths between
the rows.
The invention of the plow, drawn by oxen or horse,
accelerated soil erosion by turning under good topsoil to wind and water
erosion. More wheel traffic began the tendency toward soil compaction
and the loss of precious topsoil.
While today's implements save time and labor, they
leave their wide footprints on the earth. Wheel traffic severely
compacts the soil in many farming areas, and the topsoil has been reduced to
only a few inches in depth. Crop yields suffer because roots are
restricted by this compaction. It is necessary to establish wheel
traffic lanes to support these heavy implements. Crops should be grown
between the lanes where root systems can expand.
The conventional cotton grower's fall tillage methods
include multiple field operations such as:
- numerous diskings
- plowing
- ripping or chiseling
- bedding up
Each pass over the field compounds your soil problem
and makes root and water penetration more difficult. Criss-cross
tillage stunts plant growth and reduces cotton yields.
The patented Cotton Shredder-Bedder System from
Interstate Equipment & Manufacturing Corporation overcomes ALL of these
problems and helps you produce great cotton crops!
