ginners

Cotton seed removers

Ginners are people who operate cotton gins—machines that separate cotton fibers from seeds.

The term belongs to the cotton industry, where ginning is a crucial step between harvesting and processing: Local ginners were busy during harvest season.

A ginner may own or manage a gin facility or work the machinery itself.
