Each marketing plan pays dividends as we utilize our true cooperative structure to benefit you now and create long term benefits for you and your family. An important and valuable link between PCCA and its grower-owners is the cooperative gins throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and New Mexico. At these gins, our grower-owners can sign and execute all documents related to the marketing of their cotton. Also, the cooperative gins convey key information from PCCA to our grower-owners, and our grower-owners can communicate with PCCA via the gins. This mutually beneficial relationship provides vital services and support on behalf of PCCA, the gins, and our grower-owners. No matter how you choose to market your cotton, PCCA is here to help.
