Uster has developed an in gin, on line method of determing if the gin is presently ginning cotton that may be determined to contain grass or bark when the file sample is submitted to USDA for classing.  This ginner will be notified by images on the Uster's monitior in gins that have Uster's Intelligin system.  No controls or recommendations are provided with this information, the ginner is simply notified that he may be ginning cotton that contains grass or bark.
