This week, the California Cotton Ginners & Growers Association was happy to welcome Assemblyman David Tangipa (AD 08) for a tour of Fresno County agriculture. Enduring a break in the rain, the Assemblyman grew a couple inches taller maneuvering through the muddy conditions in the gin yard at Pacific Ginning Company in Cantua Creek. Gin manager, and CCGGA Board Member, Matt Toste showed the Assemblyman the detailed ginning process from module to finished bale. After the gin tour, the Assemblyman was then taken to Errotabere Ranch to meet with CCGGA member Dan Errotabere for lunch. The group spent time talking about impactful regulations on the agricultural industry, what the updated water allocations mean for ag, and the current difficulties with ag labor in the post ag-overtime world. 

The Association would like to thank Assemblyman Tangipa and his District Director, Austin Gilbert, for taking the time to visit with CCGGA Members.
