I worked In a cotton gin in 1963 nice to see the old equipment a lot of manual labor back then my first and last job that paid $1.00 an hour June of 1964 went in the Army. Still enjoy driving in the country and watching crops being harvested.
Well, in my ignorance, I always thought that a cotton gin was where they gin outta cotton seed. Thanks for ending that. It's great seeing the inner workings of what goes into the everyday things we take for granted. The hardwood and dedication from ppl like u r what makes our lives easy and liveable. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next planting season.
What a great video. Love to see how things are processed. Especially as cotton is something very new to me. Thank you for putting this type of video together 👍🏻💪🏻
He’s got some really neat stuff in his office. I could probably spend half the day just looking through all the old things in there. It is amazing to see how much things have changed over a century and a half. Went from hand turned ginning, to steam powered ginning to fully automated computer controlled ginning.
Lol, I honestly was racking my loaf trying to work out how the hell ya made Gin from Cotton, oh dear 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Can’t imagine I’d be able to meet you guys when we head over next year at some point after that lol. Thankyou for sharing this though in all seriousness. 🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Well I loved this video and thanks for taking the trouble to make it. Absolutely love to learn on how a industry processes the material (cotton in this case). It reminded me of years ago when I was taking summer jobs to fund my university study and I worked in New Zealand Wool stores (where wool comes from the farmers and is auctioned to buyers around the world who then process it into carpets or woolen fabric for suits or other clothing etc. We used carts and those hooks to move wool bales around. George picked up the hook in this video a way we were taught not to do because with the hook shaft between fingers it can bounce off the bale pack sometimes and swing back and injure your hand or even break a finger or two. We were taught to hold the hook so that the shaft was between thumb and first finger - that way was much safer. As a side note one day a fellow worker was fooling around while we were waiting to unload a rig and he swung down intending to frighten me but he actually drover the hook clean through my hand resting on the top of a bale - oh well I lived haha. Cheers and thanks again
That was pretty informative! Even I learned a few things. Can definitely see how easily a gin could catch on fire. And wonder why they don’t catch on fire more often!
@@FieldRows We had cotton mills in Huntsville Alabama and Fayetteville Tennessee probably into the 80’s. The old mill in Fayetteville still is used for various types of warehouse space. I can remember six cotton gins running in Lincoln County Tennessee. Every farming community had a gin.
I think Randy would have had a blast in the seed shed. I knew about cotton gins, but really never understood what happened to the cotton while in there. Now I know this is just fancy words for a cotton boll cleaner.. (Not being rude here, but just super silly) Nice work, and yes, I will agree that it's super loud in there. Thank you for the informative visit to the cotton gin and please, have a wonderful New Year.. see you in 2021!!!
All new information for me. Thank you. The only thing I previously knew about a cotton gin is Eli Whitney invented it. Must be round up cotton? Best regards from Indiana.
Omg, never knew this was the name of a factory. I thought initially it was meaning they make Gin, as in alcohol lol. Now there was a true ‘Randy bro’ moment, lmfao. 😨😨😮😮😂😂😂🤜🤜🤜🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Was waiting all harvest to see the cotton gin! Hate that it’s exported esp to 🇨🇳 slave labor camps, BUT happy to hear they’re not the top export. We need more, “made in the USA” & farmers needing bigger tractors
@@FieldRows we have family in Florida, when they visit us in PA, they’re freezing at 60 degrees. I hate heat & humidity, Florida weather was killing me in May!
Thanks for the tour and history lesson!! Great video. Be safe

Thanks Jim and George. Great tour
I’m from Massachusetts I would never get to see this! Very informative great job
Looks like they do their best to make no cotton is wasted. Very good video!!
Thank you I like learning where and how things are made.

Neat to see some of the items in George's office and how things were done before computers and modern equipment.
What a great video. Love to see how things are processed. Especially as cotton is something very new to me.
Thank you for putting this type of video together 👍🏻💪🏻

Great video! It ain’t often you get to see the “inside” workings in the supply chain of agriculture.
Great video. Really informative. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
I got my medicine the other day and I had a ball of cotton in it that’s cool to know where it all comes from lol

Very interesting. I know nothing about cotton, but I’m learning from you.
Thanks for watching Maxine!
The Grays ginned our cotton in their Ardmore Alabama gin in the 1960 era. They had three gins in our area.
Awesome. George is a great guy

Cotton whiskey may be the next big thing!
I haven’t been there in awhile
He said most is shipped overseas. Asked him where most of the cotton was shipped 50/60 years ago.
Damn my man, how y’all are you? Also, where’s the Cotton song? 🤔
I’m doing good, I’ve got a short cotton song recorded. I need to put it out there. ThAnks for watching
Sorry can’t make it but I’m coming next year ok
Was waiting all harvest to see the cotton gin! Hate that it’s exported esp to 🇨🇳 slave labor camps, BUT happy to hear they’re not the top export. We need more, “made in the USA” & farmers needing bigger tractors
Yeah exports are huge in cotton. Thanks for watching
Couldn’t hear a thing. Kinda lost in all the production noise.
Hiii bro how r u???
I'm from india,we have cotton seed oil plant here,so we want to purchase large volume of cotton seed from usa,can u help me
I was hoping to see the cotton candy area? 😂😂😂
That’s top secret! They would not show me that
You should play farming simulator
Cold in Florida? Don’t let the Minnesota farmers hear you say that, or just blame it on Randy.
It was so cold that day!!!!!!
@@FieldRows we have family in Florida, when they visit us in PA, they’re freezing at 60 degrees. I hate heat & humidity, Florida weather was killing me in May!
