Which code does this activity belong in?
Cotton ginning establishments separate cotton fibers from seeds and other materials, a process distinct from the pre-harvest activities classified in Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating or the mechanical crop harvesting covered in Crop Harvesting, Primarily by Machine. While cotton ginning is a postharvest activity, it differs from other postharvest services such as cleaning, drying, and grading, which are classified in Postharvest Crop Activities (except Cotton Ginning).
