Abstract: Excerpt from the report: Objectives of this study were (1) to determine costs of establishing and operating 3 specific types of seed-cotton storage facilities; (2) to analyze the effects of seed-cotton storage operations on the overall costs of ginning firms; and (3) to compare the costs of increasing gin handling capacity by providing seed-cotton storage with the costs of increasing the rate of ginning by building new plants or modernizing existing plants. Data for this study were obtained from 9 gin firms with seed-cotton storage facilities located in 3 major regions of the Cotton Belt.
