Be Prepared Before
Ginning Starts

It is a good idea to find out what variety types, such as hairy leaf or small-seeded cotton, are being grown by your producers and if any special gin equipment setup is needed.
It is also very important to discuss methods for good defoliation and harvest preparation with your customers, making sure the cotton is dry when it goes into the module, modules are properly constructed, built in well drained areas and covers are in good condition.
Both gin turnout and ginning rate are adversely affected by wet modules, as shown in the table; ginning rate can be reduced more than 50 percent in wet cotton. If your gin provides covers, make sure they are in good condition and readily available.
