Our cotton is being ginned so we asked our friend Mike if we could have a look at how it all works. Apologies for the shaky footage, it was difficult to hear what was being talked about so it was hard to point the camera at the right spot!

Well that was a real eye opener. Thanks guys.

Thank you for this video. I had been passing one for a while thinking it was something to do with alcohol, i got schooled by locals to correct me but none explained what happens.

@LukeLong-oi4uc 21 день назад

That is super interesting. Thank you for taking the time to film it, and thank you to the gin for sharing the process of cleaning, and baling the cotton. There is a lot that goes into growing, cleaning and processing it way before it goes to the textile industry. I love cotton clothing, I wear it daily. Great job on the video!

Top video Brad. That’s the one part of cotton farming I never had anything to do with. The saying goes: It’s hard to soar like an eagle when you’re surrounded by turkeys. 😂

That's a unique opportunity to get a tour in the cotton gin factory. I hope you learned more about the business and maybe make some changes to be more profitable. Great video and very informative.

Very interesting Brad , I was expecting to see the cotton washed it was a real eye opener , the idea of seedless cotton is not that unrealistic , poppies are sprayed to reduce the amount of seed in them at harvest time, love the blog and thanks Mike for the tour

Thanks for that it’s all very interesting and down to earth way off explaining it all Even wool bales have a barcode on them for tracing where it came from and whoever the classer is in the shed But still branded

@seanworkman431 5 дней назад

But the Aussie version is it is hard to soar like a wedgetail (eagle) when you are surrounded by gallahs. Gallahs are a flocking bird that have pink on their upside and sound like they are just laughing hysterically all the time.

@larryskeeper1197 21 день назад

Looks very neat and tidy about the laydown yard. I remember as a kid, the gin west of Narrabri was like a snow field, cotton hanging up in the power and phone wires and strewn all along the roadside... great video explanation thanks...

@user-tu3jy3om1l 21 день назад

Well done Thanks for showing the process

@95thousandroses 21 день назад

Thanks for Brad (and others) for making the effort to do this. Was cool. In my area of the southern US the mill does the processing for "free" but gets to keep the seed and hulls which they sell for feed or compost.

@christopherleblanc9599 21 день назад

great trip away , kinda brings into perspective the true cost of clothing, form seed to inputs harvest to the gin , and the traceability needed in a very competitive industry ,i really think the true cost of most items are deliberately hidden by the big players too boost their profit margins and why company's like walmart ect, can sell at their volume price points while others have over inflated low volume sales prices ,as well it shows why the farmer get so little for growing it in the first place, because of all the non usable cotton by product in each bale ,

@bettiegambrill8545 21 день назад

Fascinating to watch. I never realised that the yield was so low. Where is the equipment made, most of it looks quite old except for the computers? And why can't you plant seed that hasn't been cleaned, ie, straight from the gin?

@thejacksonbrothers 21 день назад

My understanding is the seeds genetics are licensed so you can’t plant the seed that’s been taken out, it also may not yield as well. Someone that knows a lot more may be able to answer

@gardnep 21 день назад

Just about all Aussie varieties are GMO’s and owned by the company, They strictly control the growing and the seed. Fuzzy seed will grow but even pelleted, it would be hell to get it through a planter. Public varieties or old varieties are still planted in some countries. Australian cotton gins are very modern state of the art machines, they may look old and have a very hard life sawing through thousands of tonnes of vegetation each year.

@jefftheaussie2225 2 дня назад

It’s probably a hybrid any way. No good planting the seed from a hybrid, you will only get a paddock of rubbish.

@allandoyle3555 21 день назад

Great video mate.....I certainly learned a lot...just wondering how much a bale weighs in your paddock...and how much do the small bales weigh when they come out of the gin

@rwfoxtrot 21 день назад

I think the finished ginned bale is 500 pounds (and I thought I heard the gin boss say they were aiming to get as close to 227kg) I think the in field modules are something like 1500-2000kgs but that’s a hazy memory from an older video.

@allandoyle3555 21 день назад

@@rwfoxtrot thanks

@gardnep 21 день назад

On average there are 3.8 finished bales of lint per module so according to the video there is 37% lint and about 8-9% trash plus the rest is seed. Cotton seed used to be crushed for oil and meal. They said that had closed down and now it goes for cattle feed, I guess that includes feedlots.

Anyone know why it's called a Gin?

@rwfoxtrot 21 день назад

It’s short for “engine”.

@rwfoxtrot 21 день назад

It’s an abbreviation of the word “engine”. I think it has something to do with the title of the original patent title for the machine, something along the lines of “an engine for the separation of cotton fibre from cotton seed”.

@albutterfield5965 21 день назад

@gardnep 21 день назад

Seedless Cotton? I think the lint grows on the seed so it would be difficult to have a seedless cotton but there are immature seeds that don’t mature called motes? that have lint on them so I suppose it is possible? but there might be a yield penalty. I’m sure with the level of genetic manipulation on cotton it has probably been tried. Australian cotton seed used to be exported across the globe, I assume that still happens at CSD.

@KarelRode 21 день назад

Why do we have cotton today? We had help and flax, both much lower impact on the environment and both have other benefits such as animal feed off the scraps... Answer - Hemp was successful (

@anthonyj7989 21 день назад

I just did a google search and I think you need to do the same. Hemp and flax also require fertiliser, water and chemicals to grow in Australia. Hemp and flax also require a lot of labour to turn it into fabric (particularly flax). The biggest grower of hemp is China and is only gown in China because of the cheap labour and they don’t have to follow strict environmental regulations. Swapping from one monoculture crop to another monoculture crop with the same problems is not going to solve the planet.

@jefftheaussie2225 2 дня назад

We don’t grow and use cotton because it is fun. It is the best fibre for the job which has been worked out over hundreds of years. All the other ‘alternatives’ are only good in ideological minds, not in practice. Everything has been tried before, we used to use hemp rope and jute for wool packs. We also used to pull farm machinery with horses. Progress happens where it is needed, ideology is not often closely related to practicality as Brad said before.

@jesstill7833 21 день назад

Only 37 % of the bale ,that must hurt the back pocket ,is it worth growing it cheers ❤️🙏👍🦘🇦🇺

@gardnep 21 день назад

Top quality lint is selling around $685 a bale and irrigators are getting 10 -15 bales/ha or 4-8 bales per acre. There is not another crop that goes even close to the gross margin for cotton. Dry land crops of 3-4 bales per ha would need to consistently yield 2 tonnes of canola and most of the latter only get about 1.2 t/ha
