Knock The Leaves Off And Quit Feeding Bugs
Cotton can go from “almost ready” to “overdue” in a hurry, and that’s the tension driving this conversation from the University of Georgia Cotton Team. With bolls cracking fast across Georgia, we talk through the real-world decisions behind putting on defoliation, throwing it off, and knowing when the crop is truly at the finish line. We also share what we’re seeing from the road and in trials, plus the small details that separate clean harvest prep from a frustrating one. Even though ...

Cutting Out Cotton At The Right Time
Cotton can look “done” and still trick you into spending money in the wrong places. We sit down and work through the late-season calls we’re getting right now, especially the big one: when to terminate irrigation. We share the questions we ask before we give an answer (last irrigation, last rain, planting date, current growth stage, whether you’re at cutout or beyond) and why those details matter more than any one-size-fits-all rule as the crop winds down. Weather is the wildcard, and ...

Are Your Late Season Inputs Paying You Back
You can feel it in the field right now: some cotton is ready to roll, some is two weeks behind, and the temptation is to keep spending money just to feel like we are “finishing” the crop. We sit down after a busy Cotton and Peanut Research Field Day to get real specific about late season cotton management in Georgia, starting with the decision that can drive a lot of profits or regrets: when to terminate irrigation. We walk through what cutout actually means from the plant perspective and wh...

Late-Season Cotton Choices Decide The Paycheck
Cutting off inputs is easy to say and hard to do when the crop still looks good, the heat won’t quit, and diesel bills keep climbing. We sit down as the Georgia cotton crop moves quickly toward open bolls and talk through the decisions that matter most right now: when to terminate irrigation, how to judge cutout using nodes above white flower (NAWF), and how to avoid spending money that no longer returns yield. We also put real numbers on the cost of water and explain why refilling the soil m...

Timely Scouting And Defoliation Keep Pests From Snowballing
A rain map can lie to you. One farm gets 2.7 inches with standing water, another a mile away stays dry, and suddenly your irrigation plan, insect pressure, and spray plans all change. We’re coming to you from a busy stretch of the Georgia cotton season with a fresh look at fields around the Plains Experiment Station and an honest check on where the crop sits statewide. We walk through the latest crop progress numbers, what we’re seeing in fruit retention, and why an “average” crop can ...

Georgia Cotton Check-In
Cotton can look great from the road and still be quietly losing yield in the rows. We sit down with a roundtable of Georgia Extension agents (Savannah Tanner - Emanuel County, Will Brown - Appling County, and Seth McAllister - Terrell County) to compare notes from across the state: where the crop stands after a rocky planting season, how far along fields really are from early square to peak bloom, and what those growth stage differences mean for every decision you make next. We dig into the ...

Cotton Stays Profitable When We Stay On Time
Cotton can look “fine” from the road and still be one storm, one missed spray window, or one miscalibrated spreader away from losing yield. We break down the early July Georgia cotton picture, including the latest acreage numbers, where the crop sits on squaring and bloom, and why that stretch of heavy rain after drought created two problems at once: delayed fieldwork and nutrients that may have moved before plants could use them. If you are seeing yellow cotton, we talk through what might be...

Georgia Cotton Commission Mid-Year Meeting Preview
The easiest way to get blindsided in cotton is to focus on only one thing, one pest, one headline, one price, one rumor. We’re heading to East Georgia with a packed Georgia Cotton Commission mid-year meeting, and we wanted to give you a clear preview of what’s worth your time on July 29 in Statesboro at the Neesmith Lane Conference Center. We talk through what’s changing in the program and why the market conversation feels different this year, including the USDA Great American Cotton Plan an...
