Sutton also notes that the Lubbock gin is a six "less 1" layout that gives the customer the ability to grow into a full six-stand plant. The facility is laid out for additional overhead cleaning and an additional gin line and lint-cleaning group to be installed at a later date to expand the capacity of the plant.
And what is the customer reaction to this new High Plains' landmark? "We had a meeting before we ever started this project, and every producer and landlord who was there voted unanimously to move forward," Butman says.
"We don't have a crystal ball to predict what the government programs will look like in the future, but based on our history, economically in West Texas there is not a better crop right now than cotton," Kennedy adds. "And, again, with the size plant that we have built, if we have good years and are ginning between 80,000 and 100,000 bales, that's when this gin is really going to shine."
