Economic Implications of Delayed Cotton Ginning

Edward H. Glade, Jr. and DeWitt Caillavet


 
ABSTRACT

Results indicate that ginning costs increased significantly, and producer income was reduced by $18 to $23 per bale when cotton was stored on modules in the field for an extended period. This case study analysis provides information for ginners and producers, and it points to a future need to increase crushing and cottonseed storage capacity in the Mid-South.
