Cotton Ginnings 2018 Summary (May 2019)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

2018 Cotton Ginning Comments
Cotton Ginnings: A total of 17.9 million running bales were ginned during the 2018 season, down 12 percent from the
2017 season. There were 532 active cotton gins during the 2018 season, down from the 553 gins that operated in 2017.
Sixty percent of the gins processed more than 20,000 running bales compared with 69 percent the previous season.

Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedure: The cotton ginnings survey is an enumeration of all active gins and every effort is made to obtain a
report from all ginners. Data are collected on the first and fifteenth of each month (September – January, February 1, and
March 1) for all estimating States while data collection begins with an August 1 survey in Texas. A final survey is
conducted after gins finish ginning for the season. Ginners are asked to report the number of Upland and American Pima
bales ginned prior to the data collection date. Data are collected by telephone, fax, and internet. If a completed report is
not received from an active gin, the bales ginned are estimated using administrative data or imputed using current survey
data for neighboring gins and the previously reported data for the imputed gin.
Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the cotton ginnings survey is used to establish estimates of Upland
and American Pima bales ginned to date. These estimates are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with
historical estimates.
Revision Policy: Cotton ginnings estimates are subject to revision in the annual report released in May and are based on a
thorough review of all available data.
Reliability: Cotton ginnings estimates are based on a census of all known ginners and therefore, have no sampling
variability. However, estimates are subject to errors such as omissions, duplication, and mistakes in reporting, recording,
and processing of the data. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are minimized through strict quality
controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
