This $4,000,236.13 Project Grant award to RKH Gin LLC, d/b/a Woolam Gin, is funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Organic Market Development Grant (OMDG) Program (CFDA 10.188). The grant will support the purchase and installation of equipment, including a 3-BC-144 8-cylinder inclined cleaner, 2 stick machines with steel supports, a steamroller, and additional gin stand motors. These upgrades will increase Woolam Gin's organic cotton processing capacity from 25 bales per hour to up to 40 bales per hour, improving efficiency and turnaround time for organic cotton farmers in the high-poverty areas of Lynn, Dawson, and Terry counties in Texas that the gin serves. The project aims to expand organic processing and market access, benefiting both producers and consumers of organic cotton.
