Funston Gin Company is located in Funston, Georgia.  We have been in business since 1964. Funston Gin Company was formed by Donald Parker and forty seven other stockholders.  At one time Funston Gin Company was the only operating gin in Colquitt County.  It has been in operation every year since its inception and still employs its original ginner.

The original gin was remodeled in 1984, installing the first universal density press in Georgia.  Funston Gin Company, Inc. was purchased from the board of directors and its stockholders by Tom Stallings and his family July 17, 1987.  In 1991 the gin had major renovation, adding an additional 141 gin stand and 2 additional lint cleaners. A fountain dryer was also installed , and the gin split its pre-cleaning overhead by installing an additional incline over a 3 cylinder stick machine, plus an additional incline over impact. In the 1987 crop year, the first module builders in Colquitt County were purchased by Funston Gin Company. The productivity of the gin had a low of 1,274 bales in 1979 and a high of 53,380 bales in 1999.

In 2001, all of the ginning equipment was removed from the gin building and a new Continental ginning system was erected. Included in this new ginning equipment are two new 161 gin stands, along with new 24D lint cleaners behind them. Also included was new overhead cleaning, along with a new drying system. Funston Gin Company then added a Continental 9500 press with a 45 bale per hour capacity. We think this is the best and most technologically advance system in the world.

Funston Gin Company is owned by Tom Stallings and his family. Tom's wife is Janet Butler Stallings and they reside in Camilla, Georgia. They have four children: Erica Stallings, Megan Reiber, Paige Reiber, and Jonathan Stallings.

Our mission at Funston Gin Company, Inc. is to offer quality ginning, professional marketing and personal service.
