King Mesa Gin, Inc. at Lamesa, Texas, is one of six cotton gins across the U.S. to install cutting edge technology that enables manufacturers, retailers, and consumers to trace products back to the specific farm where cotton was produced.
Applied DNA Sciences at Stony Brook, N.Y., installed the SigNature T DNA tagging and Transfer System, linked to their HomeGrown Lonestar-Cotton Proudly Grown in the USA program, in the West Texas gin.
MeiLin Wan, vice president for textiles for Applied DNA Sciences, says King Mesa is a natural fit for the technology, and praised CEO Jerry Harris for his commitment to “adopting innovative processes and technologies.”
