Another What Is It?
Re: Another What Is It?
Wonderful videos. Cotton seed meal is one of my favorite livestock feeds, and I use it in my garden fertilizer mix too. Wonderful stuff.

Re: Another What Is It?
Ken, my thanks for all the information goes along with the others. It has been over 30 years since my involvement with cotton warehouses/compresses. I remember seeing modules along the edge of the cotton fields awaiting transport to the gin, but I don't remember the round bales.

Re: Another What Is It?
Thanks for posting your knowledge of the cotton business;I learned a lot tonight. As for the OP's knife the blade looks as if it has experienced considerable wear.Here is a pic of my Russell cotton sampler that in all likelihood has never been used.

Re: Another What Is It?
Glad y’all enjoyed the info. Most of it is what I’ve picked up from living around cotton farming. Personally I’ve never been involved in it - I’ve never grown it on our place. There is still a little grown in thIs area but thanks to government subsidized ethanol most around here have switched to growing corn. (Don’t get me started on that mess!). And I try to stay away from the old family farm in south Texas when they’re planting or harvesting - they might put me to work!
One thing I would clarify in regards to a previous post mentioning “industrial farming”. Most cotton is still grown on family owned farms, by family farmers. It’s just on a bigger scale than the “40 acres and a mule” of olden days.
