A Note About The Importance of Average Bales Per Hour

We are big proponents of raising your average bales per hour. This in one of our main objectives. It is extremely cost efffective, you can use your present equipment, and it is the easiest way to make more money.

Average bales per hour is your total bales divided by the total hours of ginning. You make money when you raise your average for the year. It has nothing to do with making a 30 bale per hour gin produce 32 bales per hour maximum. The average is much more important than the maximum bales per hour.

Apply your own numbers into the following equation.
2 bales per hour increase X 22 hours per day (allowing 2 hours for downtime) equals 44 bales

44 bales X $45 per bale equals $1,980 per day

$1,980 per day X 75 days equals $148,500

Now, we know that is perfect days, but we think you get the picture! Just raising your gin's average bales per hour by 2 bales per hour will produce this kind of results. Your labor, electricity, fuel, and fixed asset costs remain the same, wether your average bales per hour is 20 or 22!
