Know this: Cotton is King in Lubbock!
Those big white blocks are harvested cotton known as "modules."
The modules on the Cotton Co-Op property = basically, who's insurance is responsible now. The Co-Op or the farmer?
A bunch of really loud stuff goes on that involves drying, separating the cotton seeds, bundling, wrapping, etc and and that guy...the cotton industry's answer to Captain Kirk:
"Raisin' Arizona" fans - The Government sure does take a bite!
Each 500 lb bundle gets a chunk taken out for Gov't approval.
I approved.
But, Todd's more experienced eye rejected these motes. It will be sent to another Gin for further refinement.
So, like wineries use lees, Cotton Gins use cotton seeds. They load these trucks up and next episode I will do the short version of cotton seed oil and such! (oh joy)
Let's be honest though - cotton is king but oil is sexy!
