Frequently asked questions

How many cotton gins are near Lubbock, Texas?

There are 9 gins on this list within 25 miles of downtown Lubbock (straight-line), and 36 within 50 miles. The closest are Lubbock Cotton Growers (about 7 miles), Idalou Co-op Gin and Texas Star Co-op in Slaton (about 12 miles each). City Gin in Abernathy isn't counted because we don't have its map coordinates yet.

How many cotton gins are in Lubbock County?

We list 5, in Abernathy, Idalou, Lubbock and Slaton. USDA NASS counted 7 active gins in Lubbock County for the 2025 crop, so a couple may be missing here. See the Lubbock County page.

Which South Plains county gins the most cotton?

Lubbock County: 562,150 running bales of the 2025 crop, per USDA NASS. Hockley (250,850), Hale (241,950) and Floyd (237,450) come next. NASS withholds totals for counties with only a few gins, such as Lamb, Bailey and Yoakum.

Is the South Plains part of the Texas Panhandle?

Not officially. The South Plains region is the 15 counties around Lubbock served by the South Plains Association of Governments. The Panhandle is the 26 counties north of it, from Parmer and Swisher to the Oklahoma line. People often use "Panhandle" for the whole High Plains, so if you're north of Plainview, see cotton gins in the Texas Panhandle.

Why are Lamesa, Seminole and Big Spring on this page?

USDA groups Dawson, Gaines, Martin, Howard and Glasscock counties with Lubbock in its Southern High Plains crop district, so we include them here too.
