No 314179, Farmer Cooperative Research Report (FCRR) from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The general purpose of this study was to analyze the recent operations of 54 cooperative gins in Oklahoma and to develop recommendations and suggestions for reducing ginning costs and increasing the efficiency of growers' investments in their gins. Specific objectives of the study were to: (1) determine ways of reducing costs and increasing efficiency of gins following the present method of operation; (2) determine the reductions in ginning costs that can reasonably be expected from consolidating gins that receive low or inadequate volumes ; (3) determine the potential of new or different methods of organizing and operating cotton gins; and ( 4) develop recommendations for reducing total costs of ginning and the closely related phases of producing and marketing cotton cooperatively in Oklahoma.
