Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Basket storage is a relatively new and promising method for storing seed cotton during the peak of harvest and ginning it later. One California gin has been using baskets since 1951, but most gins have begun in the last 5 years. Baskets are large containers which hold from 3 to 10 bales each. Cotton harvested in the peak of the season, beyond the capacities of gins, is transferred from growers' trailers to baskets and stored. The basket-stored cotton is ginned later when gins would otherwise be idle. The purpose of this study was to determine the approximate cost of using basket-storage systems. Examples of cost of ginning stored cotton, and examples of total costs for plants using this method were developed. In addition, information was shown on costs for selected volumes, factors that affect costs, problems, and prospects for basket storage.
