This week, Assemblywoman Lori Wilson (11th Assembly District) visited Mid Valley Cotton Growers Tulare gin in Tulare. Mid Valley Gin Manager Wade Van Hooser walked Ms. Wilson through the gin explaining the ginning process while discussing some of the critical issues facing cotton gins today including high energy prices and the high cost of insurance coverage for gins, or lack thereof. The tour was part of a day long tour which also included visits to a walnut huller, agave and pistachio farm, and pistachio processor. On the tour was Association President/CEO Roger A. Isom and Director of Technical Services Christopher McGlothlin.
