I’m from Indianola, and do a lot of gin work throughout northwest Mississippi, I believe I helped a guy from Houston with that press a couple years ago. I sent him a control program and info for the same type of press I service in Marks MS
We had a fire at a gin across the road. A bunch of what we call gin trash built up and it is thought that a cigarette lit it up. Luckily, nothing super important was burnt.
You want to see a cool gin, check out glasscock county coop in St Lawrence Texas. They even built there own compress and storage a few years ago. Huge A-frame seed house. Gin over 100k bales a year.
@@southernfarmer they have a website. It’s in the middle of no where west Texas. Nothing but cotton, pecan groves, and oil wells. And lots of drip irrigation.
Worked in textiles for 22 years seeing the bales come in one door and finished product out the last door to major retailers. Always wondered how it was ginned. Too bad so many textile jobs were lost to NAFTA and so many prosperous communities are now poverty ridden because of it.
I have a love hate relation with that press....I've removed and hauled the same cylinders out of ours to hydraulic shops, I think they are like 6-7k pounds each
THAT IS A HIGH DENSITY PRESS THAT PUT FEDERAL COMPRESS COMPANY OUT OF BUSINESS OUR OLD GIN HAD A LOW DENSITY PRESS THOSE BALES HAD TO BE HAULED TO THE COMPRESS SO THEY COULD BE COMPRESSED TO A SIZE FOR SUITABLE SHIPPING TO THE TEXTILE MILLS MOST U.S. TEXTILE MILLS WERE IN OPERATION IN THE CAROLINAS AND GEORGIA IN THE 60'S, 70s then they exited to ASIA, CHINA AND PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH
Love your videos but you think about investing in a new mic! The audio peaking was killing me with headphones on. Not complaining just a suggestion. Cheers, brother 🍻
Ben Schneider yes that gin voice over was not good, my others were not muffled like that, not sure what happened, sorry about that. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for watching!

Daniel Fike yep, Mike Hillhouse
I can remember when the seed wouldn't cover cost of Ginning, we sent alot of seed to Southern oil mill in Memphis Tennessee
Happy to see cotton ginning. can we come and visit your ginning factory?
Love your videos
noman asghar thanks for watching
I worked in a cotton gin a few years in Mississippi a long time ago. We put metal straps around the bale out of the press..... Memories......
We farm right next to y’all been in that gin so cool to see it
If you ever get to Memphis, besides visiting Graceland, go visit the Cotton Museum! Only 5% of US grown cotton is turned into fabric in the US :(
I’ve been wanting to
We had a fire at a gin across the road. A bunch of what we call gin trash built up and it is thought that a cigarette lit it up. Luckily, nothing super important was burnt.

It is to bad
I was going to ask about some Ginning footage.Thanks for the tour.Does your family own the Gin?
Joe Steel yes we do, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Reminds me of a grain elevator.
That's a good video
Does the farmer pay the gin cost or is the cotton sold to the gin?
mike wood Cotton is the Farmers, gin keeps seed
good morning watching new video today June 30 21 👍👍🙏🙏🙏
New subscriber from NW Wisconsin, love the videos. Do you gin just your cotton or others also?
Tim McKinley many other farmers in our area also, thanks for watching

Liked, dad owned and old gin built in the early 50's. I'll guess this one was built in the 70's?
mrih1586 early 80’s, with very regular additions & renovations
Looks like the cotton gin in Hamilton Mississippi
Larry Pate we bought many of the parts when that gin closed several years ago
I didn’t know it had closed what gin is close to y’all now
Larry Pate we have our own gin. Double B Gin in Randolph, MS

superbe vidéo mais cette usine est très sale
Shitty hours shitty conditions but decent pay
I was wondering how the cotton got pulled after slavery has ended
hllo
That cotton going into the press is still dirty. WTF?
Not really
