The Arizona Cotton Ginners Association was organized in 1956 to unite the
cotton ginning industry in Arizona and promote cooperation between the gins,
their customers and government agencies.
Over the past 50 years the cotton industry has seen incredible advances in
technology and the way the industry does business. Much of the advance has
been due to the forward approach the Arizona Cotton Ginners Association has
taken over that time.
The leadership of the association is a who's who of individuals who have led the
advance of progress nationwide. Many of Arizona's leaders have gone on to
lead the National Cotton Ginners Association and have had a place in
determining the future of America's cotton market.
