Week 6 Farm Intern Georgina Macias

October 9, 2018 by virginia.moerbe

On Monday and Tuesday Bobby, Jimmy, and I hauled hay bales out of the Johnson grass plot and moved them to storage so we could feed cows later in the winter. In the middle of the week I helped Ryan fix some issues with the sprayer and got it back up and running properly. On Thursday I rode in the tractor with Bobby and chisel plowed the long rows,  I was able to drive the tractor for a couple of passes under Bobby’s supervision.  Before we came back from lunch I was able to see how the cotton harvesters pick up the modules from the field to take to the gin. On Friday morning we moved cows and mended fence on the northwestern pasture.  Friday afternoon I followed Ryan to Granger to help him spray cotton for harvest.

Partnership Opportunities

Stiles Farm can run multiple projects at once thanks to the demonstration and research plot model. If you or your company would like to partner with Stiles Farm, we are looking for partnerships in long term conservation tillage and cover crop research, precision agriculture technologies, innovations in beef cattle production, the economics of small acreage horticulture production in the blacklands, and use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) in agriculture production. For partnership ideas, contact Ryan Collett at (512) 898-2214 or rmcollett@ag.tamu.edu.
