Talkin' Cotton Podcast
Welcome to the UGA Cotton Team's Talkin' Cotton Podcast. This is a podcast for cotton growers, county agents, industry partners and anyone else interested in learning about science-backed cotton production and pest management. Our goal is to educate you with the most up-to-date data and information all season long. Talkin' Cotton will feature guests, such as, extension specialists, research faculty, graduate students, extension agents, industry allies and many others! Let's get into the why's of puttin' on, throwin' off and cuttin' out.

We’re rolling out a series of recorded updates from every Georgia cotton specialist so you can hear the what, why, and when behind this season’s key recommendations—without rearranging your whole week. Consider this your on‑demand companion to the in‑person meetings, built to fit inside a busy farm day.
We walk through how the information pipeline works: production guides are already with your county agents and at the meetings, the summer newsletter keeps up with fast-moving issues like pest pressure and growth stages, and this podcast fills in the context you might miss or need a refresher on. Not every specialist can be in every room, and not every grower can get to a meeting. By capturing these updates in audio, we help you keep pace with agronomy, and pest management while you scout fields, haul modules, or catch a rare quiet moment.
More than anything, we’re focused on economic sustainability. The advice we share aims to protect yield potential, prioritize decisions under pressure, and keep cotton viable across Georgia’s diverse acres. If a topic you care about isn’t covered or you want deeper detail for your county, call your local Extension agent—they know exactly how to reach us and get you what you need.
If this approach helps you, follow the show, share it with a neighbor, and leave a quick review. Your feedback tells us which questions to chase next and helps other growers find the information when it matters most.
