Ginners Marketplace COTTON
COTTON FARMING IS THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE GINNING INDUSTRY.
It’s Showtime In Texas! The Texas Cotton Ginners’ Association is preparing to host its 116th annual meeting and cotton trade show, which has a new name and logo. The new name is TCGA Gin Show – The Cotton Belt Gin Connection. The event is scheduled for April 4-5 at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. It is the only annual trade show where the main focus is cotton ginning. To be a cotton ginning-focused show for the Cotton Belt, TCGA stepped up its effort to reach ginners across the nation. For example, the association recently mailed a postcard highlighting information about the show to all gins across the Cotton Belt. Spread The Word To help promote the show, call and email your friends in the cotton industry. Many people have shared a recent article that appeared in Cotton Farming magazine on social media. Read the Q & A article between Cotton Farming magazine’s Carroll Smith and TCGA’s Aaron Nelsen by visiting https://rb.gy/p751fr. The article highlights the tweaks and changes TCGA is making to improve the show experience. TCGA encourages you to share information about the show on social media. The TCGA Gin Show’s theme for 2024 is “Linking Ginners Across the Cotton Belt.” The hope is the new name and logo will become synonymous with the show for years to come. TCGA wants its show to be a platform that links ginners across the Cotton Belt, which the annual theme embraces.
