COTTON FARMING IS THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE GINNING INDUSTRY.
TCGA Cotton Trade Show Connects Ginners From Across The Belt The Texas Cotton Ginners’ Association hosted visitors from several cotton-growing areas during its annual meeting and cotton trade show in Lubbock this year. In recapping the event, the organization made the following comments: “For our 116th gin show, we reached out across the Cotton Belt to bring ginners from across the country together under one roof in Lubbock. We rebranded our show as the ‘Cotton Belt Gin Connection’ and our theme for the year was ‘Linking Ginners Across the Cotton Belt.’ “We wanted to market this event as a ‘ginners show’ and be sure that cotton ginners across the country knew they were welcome to attend. We had several ginners from across the Cotton Belt come to Lubbock and hope to see our Beltwide attendance increase even more next year. “Thank you to our exhibitors who invested time and resources into our show. Our exhibitors are the engine that drives the show, making it possible for ginners from across the Cotton Belt to come together and seek answers to some common problems. While in Lubbock, ginners can view the innovative technologies that are available to increase efficiency in their operations.

The venue offers the opportunity to see all the major suppliers in the cotton gin industry.”
