Effect of Grades and Weights on Cottonseed Margins of Cooperative Gins

Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Grading cottonseed at oil mills generally results in ginners receiving more equitable prices on seed and larger margins. Gains or losses in gin purchase weights of cottonseed as compared with sale weights also directly affect the ginner's margin, as well as dollar returns to individual growers. These findings, in general, have been recognized by the ginning and crushing industry, if not by the cotton farmer. Very little information, however, has been available regarding the extent of their importance. This study was made to supply such information as well as to better determine actual gin margins on seed. The main purpose of this study was to obtain specific information regarding premiums and discounts on graded seed and gains and losses on purchase weights to determine more accurately the total margin realized by ginners on cottonseed.
