Finding Value In Gin Trash

Gin Waste, Cottonseed Can Improve Profits

Finding Value In Gin Trash

Some areas of the Cotton Belt have value in the trash pile, which can be sold to animal operations or converted to value-added products such as compost, dryer fuel or in hydromulch. Research is also conducted on how to use these products as feedstock for cellulosic ethanol production. Still other areas of the Belt have to pay someone to carry it off site.

Don't hesitate to check to see what is coming out the rear of the gin. It may not be a pretty sight, but it can yield some helpful information. I'm hoping your ginning season is a safe and prosperous one.
