Nowadays, farmers are excited about the cotton as a rotation crop that works well with wheat. This is first time since 1950s that farmers are growing cotton in north and west of Enid, Oklahoma.
According to farmers, there are only two crops that work with wheat in a no-till culture.
Cotton and sunflower are only two crops that can resist heat and drought.
But farmers prefer cotton because it's more stable, insurable, can obtain high yields from modern transgenic varieties with protection against weeds and worms and freedom from the boll weevil.
Farmers are trying different crops in rotation with wheat, grain sorghum, soybeans and corn in both dry land and irrigated cultures.
