Subject: RE: cotton transportation and cover misleading comparison by progressive farmer


Zabcikville, TX
As a hauler, to hell with the round ones! They are always stacked in the (almost) most inopportune place. Just whatever is easiest for the tractor driver. THEN, when they (said tractor driver) drops them, they roll. So not in a straight line. That makes them harder to load without tearing the crappy plastic wrap that is used to wrap them. Not to mention the cost of the chains in the bed of the module truck that's almost required by most gins to keep from poking holes in aforementioned crappy plastic.then the gins have to deal with all of the scrap plastic that isn't re-usable like a regular tarp, that can be used for years. Ahhhhhh, rant over. I'll haul 'em, but I don't like 'em!

Edit: Have you ever seen the rot and sprouted seeded cotton that's directly under the plastic after a couple of cool nights and warm days due to condensation?? That ain't pretty either.
