Joe Coker brought in the first bale of cotton ginned at Frank Currie Gin for the 2008 season. This bale was picked September 11th and ginned on the 12th. In keeping with tradition at Currie Gin, Coker received a check for $100 for bringing in the first bale of the season. The last time Coker brought in the first bale was in 1977. Coker and his three grandsons accepted the check from Gin Manager Ron Bailey on Tuesday morning. From left: Joe Coker holding Sam Coker, Jake Coker, Marshall Coker and Ron Bailey.
