Be Prepared Before Ginning Starts

摘要

From snakes in the control box to bird nests in the exhaust pipes, starting up a gin after the dormant season is always a difficult day or sometimes week before all the components start to work together in an efficient and productive fashion. There are several important things a ginner should remember when gearing up for the ginning season. First and foremost, all employees should be given proper safety training. Inevitably, you will have new employees working at the beginning of the ginning season with little experience and awareness of the potential hazards. Larry Davis of the Southern Cotton Ginners' Association, says: "Just because you're not ginning as much cotton this year, don't shortcut your safety training. Everything you do in the way of safety pays off."
