Co-operation and teamwork between cotton growers and ginners can significantly increase the returns to growers and provide cost savings to gins. The essence of the cost saving is to lift turnouts to the optimum level by monitoring and adjusting ginning techniques to suit each cotton field. Through the Monigin program cotton growers can now actively monitor the performances of their crop from within their paddock until after ginning. The ginner has all the growing information at his fingertips. Together the team can analyse a cotton crop at all stages and the producer and processor can combine to lift the results of production to a level never before obtained.
