Abstract: Costs associated with cotton ginning and warehousing for conventional plant arrangements and theoretical models are analyzed and compared. The proposed models incorporate maximum known efficiencies in plant size selection and latest available technologies in processing and handling. Also described are possibilities of reducing by up to one-third or more the cost per bale of providing four marketing services--seed cotton assembly, gin processing, transporting baled lint from gin to warehouse, and warehouse receiving.
