It’s always a milestone at Frank Currie Gin in McCullough when the first cotton comes in and the first bale is ginned. This year, Brian Harrison took the honors with his cotton that was ginned September 25. Gin Manager Ron Bailey, right, continued his tradition of presenting a $100 check to the farmer who brings in the first bale. The check was presented Monday, October 28, to Harrison and his son Easton, 7.
