- Association Harvest speed varied with crop maturity and weather.
- Association Earlier-season ginning amounts depended principally on maturity timing.
- Association Later-season harvest speed was determined by prevailing weather.
- Observation On November 1, an average 37 per cent of the matured cotton crop remained to be ginned.
- Observation An average 57 per cent of the cotton remaining unginned on November 1 was ginned during November.
- Association November weather produced substantial year-to-year variation in the November ginned percentage.
- Method / resource Computed cotton totals had an average error of 1.5 per cent over 15 years.
- Method / resource The computed total had at least 2 per cent error in five of 15 years.
- Method / resource The computed total had less than one-half of 1 per cent error in one-third of years.
- Method / resource The equation could compute the cotton crop in less than 5 minutes after December 1 ginning data became available.
