ACG's Offices in Littlefield, Texas
ACG's History
In 1973, PCCA helped organize American Cotton Growers (ACG), a cotton pool- marketing, farmer-owned cooperative with the mission of improving cotton ginning, processing, storage and handling for West Texas cotton producers. Denim mill construction at Littlefield, Texas, began in 1975. We are proud to say ACG met its original objectives and exceeded even the most optimistic expectations of its founders.
The purchase of this denim mill from ACG in 1987 was one of the most significant developments in PCCA's history. The transaction pumped more than $100 million into the West Texas economy at a time when capital for many farming operations was badly needed. More important, PCCA's ownership of this mill ensures the continued operation and cooperative control of this region's valuable asset.
