To the Cotton Gin again?

     At the cotton gin we (me, my dad and Shadrach) were given a full tour of the gin by Cade Wyat and Benny. They were good tour guides although it was hard to hear them because the Gin was so loud. When we first got there Cade showed us were the cotton seed goes and what we use it for.
  Then we went into the place where they load the cotton where we met Benny. Once there he told us how they use the big truck to move cotton bales. Once we got inside he showed us where they separated the seeds from the cotton then showed us were the cotton overflowed and let us use the vacuum thing to suck some of the cotton up. 
  Next they showed us were the cotton was bagged, tied and shipped off. We went back to were the cotton was loaded and we got to watch them load the cotton. Last Cade showed us were they dumped the trash which was pretty cool. Overall the Gin was pretty cool.
