Welcome to a short tour of the Cotton Shredder-Bedder System.  It is quickly becoming the preferred choice among the next generation of cotton and vegetable growers, and here's why:

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 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 discings
• plowing
• ripping or chiseling
• bedding up

Each pass over the field compounds the problem and makes root and water penetration difficult.  Criss-cross tillage stunts plant growth and reduces cotton yields.
