The Cotton Calendar

From Furrow to Bale,
Every Step Documented

The Delta growing season runs 200 days. We track every one of them.

The Planter Runs at Dawn

GPS-guided planters lay seed in 38-inch rows through red clay still cold from March rains — every pass recorded, every acre documented from the first furrow.

Scouts Walk Every Row

Agronomists check square retention weekly — a dropped square is a lost boll, and on a thousand acres, every percentage point of retention translates directly into classing grade.

The Canopy Drops, White Appears

Defoliant runs when bolls reach 60% open — the green canopy falls away in a week, and the field turns white as the Delta sky before a November front.

Modules Feed the Gin Before Light

Gin trailers line the turnrows before 5 a.m. — saw gins run around the clock through November, and every bale is tagged, classed, and warehouse-receipted before it leaves the county.

HVI Classing Data · 2025 Crop

The Fiber Speaks
in Numbers

Every bale classed by USDA-licensed classers at the Rosedale Classing Office. HVI data available for individual bale lots. No blending, no commingling — your traceability report names the field.

Staple Length
1 3/32inches
Strict MiddlingRange: 1 1/16 – 1 3/32

Measured by HVI at the gin. Consistent across all 1,024 acres due to single-variety planting.

Micronaire
4.2avg
Premium A-ZoneRange: 3.8 – 4.6

Fineness and maturity index. A-zone (3.5–4.9) qualifies for maximum mill premiums.

Fiber Strength
30.4g/tex
StrongRange: 29.1 – 31.8

HVI bundle strength. Strong grade (29.0+) reduces end breakage in ring-spinning operations.

Uniformity Index
83.2%
HighRange: 82.4 – 84.1

Ratio of mean fiber length to upper-half mean length. High uniformity reduces waste in processing.

Leaf Grade
2avg
CleanRange: 1 – 3

USDA leaf grade scale 1–8. Grade 2 reflects careful defoliation timing and picker adjustment.

Color Grade
31Rd/+b
White / SMRange: 31-3 to 41-3

Rd (reflectance) and +b (yellowness) measured by HVI colorimeter. Strict Middling white classification.

All fiber data from 2025 crop year. Full classing report includes bale-level HVI data, field-of-origin mapping, and gin receipt documentation. Available upon request.

"We've sourced from a dozen Delta farms. CottonDelta is the only one that hands us bale-level HVI data before we ask — and their Rd numbers are consistently two points above the county average."
