More than 30 participants attended the 2026 American Pima Guide Box Review and Standards Matching Meeting this week at the USDA AMS Cotton Classing Office in Visalia, California. This important event provides an opportunity for cotton industry representation to review, comment on, and approve the official American Pima Grade Standards. The guide boxes have now been approved, and the standards will become effective immediately. Several representatives from USDA AMS were on hand for the event. Attending on behalf of the Association was President/CEO Roger Isom.
