Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1974, vol. 6, issue 1, 151-157

Abstract: The conventional cotton marketing system includes characteristics that impair its efficiency. This paper reports on a study which examined the potential operational efficiency gains in that portion of the system which involved the flow of seed cotton from the field through the ginning process. Up to 70 percent of the annual production is harvested in three to four weeks; the rest is harvested and processed during the remaining 3 1/2 to 4 months of the ginning season.
