Abstract

A comparative study of 41 sample gins in the San Joaquin Valley of California in 1972/73 with the previous season revealed higher overall averages in rated ginning capacities, annual volumes ginned, and in plant capacity utilization. Operating cost averages, per bale, ranged from $16.27 for out-of-pocket to $21.64 for total standardized costs; down $2.59 and $5.03, respectively, from 1971/72. Ginning revenues from all sources combined, for independents and some cooperatives in the sample, were almost identical both seasons. A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis revealed that volume ginned was the most influential factor in determining annual gin operating costs.
