Abstract: This report, the third in a series, analyzes gin operating costs in West Texas in 1968-69. The gin sample from which these data were obtained is stratified by rated hourly capacities into four size groups. Capacity utilization rates and ginning volumes in West Texas gins were higher in 1968-69, compared with 1967-68, while per bale operating costs were generally lower. Increases in some unit costs--labor, repairs, and miscellaneous--more than offset declines in other, resulting in higher average out-of-pocket costs for two larger gin size groups and for all sample gins combined.
