Proper Picking Costs and Cotton Loss Risk
County Agent Paul Tapp notes that improper adjustment of picking machinery can turn a profitable crop into a loss. A well tuned unit can harvest 95 percent or more of open balls, while a single missed ball may cost up to 400 pounds per acre. He advises thorough pre harvest checks, parts replacement, lubrication, and field specific tuning by the operator to maximize efficiency and avoid ground loss.
