That's what I will plant this year. The haygrazer leaves the added option of easily going back into peanut production. Millet is another alternative crop to peanuts here. Some farmers who grow millet also may explore wildlife income from bird hunters. Cotton didn't work as a rotation in this part of the world with peanuts because of the pesky boll weevil.
Numbers are so high in Central Texas, the weevils are just too overpowering.
So farmers backed off it. If the Texas Boll Weevil Program gets up and going in high gear in the Comanche County area, then Beaty says cotton may become a real option here again as a rotation crop with peanuts. All are runner peanuts. Half are dryland peanuts, while the half of the production that is irrigated gets water mainly from a wheel system. There are some hand-moved irrigation pipe, as well.
