What do producers do with their seed?

Related resource areas: Cotton

The seed usually is sold by the producer to the gin. The ginner either sells the seed for feed or to an oil mill where the linters (downy fuzz) are removed in an operation very much like ginning. Linters are baled and sold to the paper, batting and plastics industries, while the seed is processed into cottonseed oil, meal and hulls.
