The engineering and economics of storing and transporting seed cotton from the turnrow to the gin is important and will continue to impact cotton production. GIS can be used to locate production areas relative to cotton gin locations and systems analysis can be used to determine costs associated with moving modules to the gin yard. This study was directed at developing decision tools for seed cotton transport. As the number of gins decrease, the definitions of the gin service area must be determined. These transport tools could be used for alternate applications such as gin trash transport to biomass processing facilities.
