Itta Bena Mississippi | Lessee here, where to start.
1) The gin will be able to buy in volume, cutting the cost.
2) The gin will also have control of the quality of the wrap, insuring as best it can that it will not have to gin a bunch of wet cotton, which slows the progress down tremendously and drive the labor and drying costs up by 3 fold.
3) Any gin that will not take in consideration those above 2 factors, will give up cotton to one that does.
In the event no one has told you previously, nothing is free. Be it module tarps or wrap, it will all be considered in the cost of getting your cotton ginned.
I don't know how the gins in your neck of the woods operate, but the survivors here have pretty much learned that it only takes one or two customers with wet cotton to screw up the whole show, cost and time wise, for everyone.
As these pickers become more common(and they will), all of the gins will have either accomodate them or shutdown. It'd probably be a safe bet that mother Deere will sell every one she can build next year.
