WATCH: Farmers Fight Through Adversity to Build Massive Cotton Gin in Tom Green County
MERETA, TX – It has been three years in the making and building and Friday a huge new cotton gin opened in eastern Tom Green County.
The Lone Star Farmers Cooperative Gin held a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday on Fourth Rd. near the intersection of FM-380 a few miles east of Veribest. The new gin is the result of a merger between Miles Coop Gin in Miles, TX and the Mereta Coop Gin in Mereta, TX.
Here is video of the ribbon cutting and the first load of cotton going into the Lone Star Farmers Coop Gin:
