Why are yall chopping stalks in the summer

[@Bar_S_Farms]

We use the previous years cotton stalks to keep the farm from blowing when the cotton is small. This field is 40” sub-surface drip irrigation. One year we plant on top of the tape. The next year we plant 20” off of the tape or in the middles. By chopping the stalks and cultivating the middles once the cotton is large enough not to blow we can get rid of the old stalks, volunteer cotton, and weeds in the middles.
