We list 44 active gins in 29 counties. USDA NASS counted 51 active gins in the same counties for the 2025 crop, and 55 in all of Georgia, so some gins may be missing here.
Dooly County: 220,700 running bales of the 2025 crop and 6 active gins, per USDA NASS. Colquitt (173,300) and Burke (69,450) are the only other counties here with published totals. NASS withholds the rest to protect individual gins' data. See the Dooly County and Colquitt County pages.

Every Georgia county where we list a gin south of the Fall Line, the old shoreline that runs through Augusta, Macon and Columbus. That is every listed Georgia gin except one in Bartow County, northwest of Atlanta.
