Every cotton module with certified wrap has an RFID tag. Join @CottonInc's workshop to unlock its full potential! Make better use of your data. #RFID #CottonTech

[Ed Barnes @EdBCotton]

If you are going to be at the Mid-South Farm and Gin Show (https://t.co/ZwrFxDAizn) this Friday, Feb. 27 in Memphis, TN and have interest in getting more information out of your cotton module data, then join us from 2:30 to 5:00 pm in Room 109, Level 1 of the convention center.

RFID—What's in it for me?

A new generation of cotton harvesters create round modules. When round modules are wrapped in products approved by the National Cotton Council, they contain at least four Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags that identify each module.

Tools were created that allow farmers to combine RFID and classing data to create fiber quality maps of their fields.

These data have been used to map areas of a field that received seed coat fragment calls; visualize within-field variation of micronaire; and develop more accurate profit/loss maps.

Such quality maps may also help assess the impact of pest damage and other factors affecting fiber quality.

Your fabric choice matters! Synthetic textiles are responsible for a significant portion of ocean microplastics. Let’s switch to #cotton for a more sustainable impact!

Cotton growers and dairy farmers know the value of cotton lies not only in its textile uses but also in its byproduct, whole cottonseed. @CottonInc works to maximize cotton-grower profit from whole cottonseed through education and marketing. https://t.co/0Vo2rQbvIE

As we continue to reduce our single-use plastics and plastic-based items, consider #cotton instead. Unlike petroleum-based fibers like #polyester, cotton is biocompatible and readily biodegrades in many environments. To learn more, click here: https://t.co/aLRuWuG4M2
