Wonderful videos. Cotton seed meal is one of my favorite livestock feeds, and I use it in my garden fertilizer mix too. Wonderful stuff.

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.

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.

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! ::woot:: :lol:

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.
