Field to bale
Pick, gin, grade, ship.
Bales usually leave the gin with a grade stamp and no field record, and buyers re-test the fibre after signing. Here each bale carries its field code, ginning date and grade, and a second grade can be asked for on the same line.
- Pickraw cotton weighed field by field
- Ginginning date and lint weight logged
