CURIOUS COWS SNIFF FIRST AT HARRIET & HENDERSON BALE
: Cotton Waste Turns Into Staple On Hutchins Farm
Farmers Aided By Waste Disposal Plan

That’s no longer the case.
“We (H&H) do not have
anything goinfl to the landfill
now except household-type
garbage,” Mrs. Searels said.
“We recycle computer paper,
envelopes, other paper, and
cardboard. We haul it to a
reciy"cler in Chattanooga, Tenn.,
although it doesn’t pay for
itself. It keeps it out of our
landfill.”
In North Carolina in 1989
and 1990, H&H was payinf up
to $lO per bale to dispose of the
waste. That's no longer the
case in that state.
Farmers shouldn’t think
that the waste is all their cat
tle need to eat, Mrs. Searels
said. “They need more than
that. But it’s free and farmers.
can do what they want to do
with it. It is safe and non
toxic.”
Althm}lfh not all farmers
comply, H&H asks them to
cover the bales with a t? to
keep the loose waste from
blowing onto roads while it is

being hauled to pastures, she
said.
EAGER
H&H at Berryton is getting
rid of virtually all its waste
each week to farmers eager to
try the ‘“new” feed. “In fact,”
Mrs. Searels said, “We’ve turn
ed away some people because
we had run out of the bales.”
Hutchins and Dan Hunter
tried the waste on their cows
for the first time this past
week. They’d heard that
Tatum and other local farmers
had tried the product and were
well-pleased with the results.
As Hutchins drove the
truck through his pasture,
Hunter Eushed over two bales
as 128 head of curious cattle
watched close to a large pond.
As Hutchins and Hunter
backed away from the bales,
cattle began to walk slowly
toward the waste, stopping oc
casionally to eye the bales wari
ly. A few bega.n nosing around
the bales and then started pull
in(f; at the cotton. More arriv
ed and then a small
“stampede”’ of a few distant
cows toward the bales began.
Some weren’t too hungry,
Hutchins said, because they’'d
been eating silage. ‘“They will
about dark when they run out
of the silage,” he said.
“CLEAN”
H&H has made a special ef
fort to keep the waste “clean”
in the sense of keeping strinfis
and dust masks out of the
waste. In one instance, Clark
said, a cow in North Carolina
choked when it downed a dust
mask.
Local farmers are warned
about a potential hazard in
that respect, Clark said. H&H
g::sonnel in Berryton have
n specifically instructed to
make sure that waste of that
nature doesn’t end up in the
bales, Mrs. Searels said.
Farmers take the waste at their
own risk, she noted.
In addition to the cotton
waste, Tatum said he is also
feeding corn and chicken litter
to his cows. Litter also has a
high protein content and tests
have revealed that it is not
harmful to cattle.
Since hay is in short supp
ly in Chattooga County and
most pastures are “dead” at
this time of the year, Tatum
wishes the waste could have
been stockpiled during the
summer to use this winter.
PELLETS?
Mrs. Searels said H&H is
also taking a look at turning
the waste into soft bricks or
pellets at the plant to make it
even more Jmlatable and easier
to haul and use. ‘lt would also
cut down on dust and flying
cotton,” she said.
Clark said the UGA
laboratory analysis also show
ed that the sampled waste con
tained 43 percent of crude
fiber, along with small
amounts of phosphorus,
fitassium, and magnesium.
aces of iron, aluminum, cop
per, zinc and sodium also show
ed up in the analysis.

H&H’'S ROBERT McGILL (R) LOADS HUTCHINS TRUCK WITH BALES
Dan Hunter Waits To Take Cotton Waste Back To Farm
revealed that the waste after
being ground can also be used
in throspraying on the sides
of iihways. It compared
favorably with lfround paper as
mulch, the H&H-Extension
Service study indicated.
Problems occurred when
farmers tried to use the waste
as a ground cover and mulch,
or incoaglorate it into the
E;ound. ose problems might
solved by turning the waste
into pellets, the study
indicated.
CLOGGING
It showed that the cotton
fibers caused problems in the
manure spreaders used to
sEread the waste by clogging
the teeth.
When used as a ground
cover for red clover, it
sometimes smothered clumps
of clover. When the clover
became suitable for harvesting,
it proved almost impossible to
mow because the fibers got
tangled in several types of
mowing equipment, the study
indicated.
It proved hard to easily
plow the waste into the ground
with a disk, the study in
dicated, although a rotovator
was used somewhat
successfully.
BLIGHT
Where the cotton waste
was applied over ground where
soybeans had been planted,
problems with Southern stem
blight developed 33 days after
the beans were planted. In
fields where the waste had not
been used as a top cover, no
blight problems occurred, the
study showed.
“%‘he problem is that
there’s not enough of it (waste)
to help every farmer right
now,” Clark said. “But it’s
helping us with the environ
ment by keeping the waste out
of our lanm, and it's helpin%
some of our local farmers.
think it's a good deal all the
way around.’
