Moisture control
Proper moisture control during harvest and storage of seed cotton impacts the efficient operation of the cotton gin.
As seed cotton is fed into the ginning plant it is subjected to drying to facilitate the removal of non-lint content.
Excessive moisture, as well as very variable moisture, causes the gin plant to operate inefficiently. Excessive
moisture increases
energy costs to the gin by requiring more drying. Variable moisture can cause the gin plant to erratically increase and
decrease fuel usage as the equipment is chasing the proper moisture content of the cotton. Increased fuel use and
energy costs add to the cost of ginning the cotton, so in addition to potential harming the quality of the lint and
thereby reducing the economic value of the ginned lint, the cost of producing the ginned lint is also increased.
Proper air temperature sensor placement in the gin is an important factor in efficiently controlling the fuel-usage and
drying at the gin, in addition to controlling the moisture during harvest and storage.
Color and leaf Grade
There are 25 color grades for American upland cotton plus five categories for below-grade color. Fifteen of these
grades are represented in physical form by samples prepared and maintained by USDA. The remaining standards for
colors are descriptive. The range of each color grade for which there is a physical standard is represented by six
samples placed adjacent to each other in a standards box. For practical considerations, the color and leaf grade
standards are contained in the same box.
Leaf Grade
Leaf grade describes the leaf content of the cotton. There are seven leaf grades (numbered 1 through 7), and all are
represented by physical standards. In addition, there is a "below grade," which is a discriptive standard.
