Changes Effective

The younger Tyner says one of the changes they have made is, instead of planting cotton on four-inch spacing, they plant it on five.

"We saved nearly $17 per acre or nearly $18,000 for the year," he says. "When we moved it out, I gave a lot more priority to how I was planting."

He says they also use Autosteer for spray applications, and they are now considering bringing in auto shut-off technology in order to eliminate the overlap of product.

Big or small, the Tyners have a challenge facing most producers: herbicide-resistant weeds.
