East Central Arkansas
I don't know of any in use around here. Some are using what they call a one trip plow which KBH is manufacturing now. I have not had the chance to talk to anyone yet that has used in cotton stalks and planted cotton back. A neighbor up the road a ways ran one some last fall. I beleive he was running it on corn ground and I don't know what he planted back to this spring. This plow has a big rolling chopper for each row and a flat plow share like blade that runs under the row to cut the stalks off. It then has middle busters on the back. One of the things that concerns me with bedding cotton ground is being able to keep my rows spaced right and not getting my lap middles all messed up. I bed and plant with eight row but harvest with 6 row picker. I have to keep row spacing pretty close to right.
