California’s first commercial cotton sprouted in 1862 in what would later become Kern County (where Calcot is headquartered today), but the San Joaquin Valley didn’t earn its reputation as a producer of “white gold” until the next century, after World War I, when the federal government wanted extra long staple cotton for military applications. The homegrown group began as the San Joaquin Cotton Growers in Delano in 1927 and has been headquartered in Bakersfield since 1931. The co-op grew out of a Delano grower’s frustration over the middlemen in the cotton industry.In 1926, Capt. Frank E. Green had a lunch meeting in a Delano hotel, where he pitched the idea of a growers’ cooperative to his peers.
