HUSA Sep 29 2026 – Sarah Nicholson

Welcome to the Harvest USA Report. I’m Brian Hale, an original production of Howard Hale Broadcasting, now expanded throughout North America.

Looks like our co-host David Woodruff has Sarah Nicholson on the phone again talking about seeding wheat in between the cotton. Let’s listen in. So your machines roll them up in big round bales? Yes, we have a stripper baler, yes.

Sounds like you don’t have to worry about rain. No, we don’t have a lot of rain for sure right now. We’ve got some really good chances next week, but I don’t know.

So if it rains on the crop as advanced as it is, will that help or is that going to give you more trouble? No, we’re really already past the point of helping. We need the rain for sowing wheat. That’s what we’re ready to do.

So we’ll start sowing wheat. We have a row drill that we sow wheat into our cotton. So we interseed the wheat, and so then once we get done stripping cotton, we’ll already have wheat pasture on a good year.

But we try to not sow it until it rains. So that there’s moisture there to germinate that wheat. Yeah.

So what spacings are your cotton rows? Is it 36 or what are they at? 40s. They’re 40s. So then it’s not really too hard to get in there and plant winter wheat in alongside those.

Well, we just have a special, we have a drill that my brother and his buddy custom built that sows in between the rows. Even when the cotton’s big, it goes in there and sows it in between. Sarah Nicholson from Dameron Farms with our co-host David Woodruff.

That’s going to do it for today’s Harvest USA report. Thanks again for listening, and may God bless. I’m Brian Hale.
