Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Cotton ginners competing with each other and using equal amounts of power sometimes have differences of over $1 a bale in power expenses. Such differences are often caused by types of power used or by differences in rates paid for electricity. Such differences equal a large part of the net benefits realized from operating cooperative gins or a large part of the net returns made on investments in other gins. The purposes of this study on gin power expenses were: (1) to determine and compare expenses for equal amounts of power from different sources and types; (2) to provide information that cooperative and other gin owners could use to aid them in selecting a type of power or in changing to less costly sources or types of power; and (3) to determine other ways by which power costs could be reduced.
