New Type Bale Tag Promises Permanent Records for Cotton
A new bale tag developed by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics and tested by Texas A&M experts is designed to permanently identify cotton bales with an indestructible metal tag. Attached via a 28 inch wire, the tag records bale identity and varietal information, aiding traceability, potential trademark use in single variety communities, and possibly lowering fire insurance rates by documenting bale losses.
