Overview

Excerpt from The Work of the United States Cotton Ginning Laboratory Cotton still belongs to the farmer while it is going through the ginning process. Most other farm products - milk, soybeans, fruit, vegetables, livestock, for example - leave the ownership of the grower before any processing starts. Therefore, as part of their quality-improvement programs, cotton growers are insisting that ginners handle and gin seed cotton so as to preserve all the quality that has been produced through improved varieties and cultural methods. They realize that a large part of the increased value as a result of their efforts toward crop improvement can be nullified during the few minutes it takes to gin a bale of cotton. Losses resulting from poor ginning are variously estimated up to or more annually. Therefore, the cost to producers of inadequate and poorly operated gin machinery represents a tremendous yet largely avoidable loss.
