Fifty years ago cotton was King in Kings County, Calif. Since then the cream has risen to the top of the bucket to put milk production in the number one spot.
Kings County’s agricultural value grew a modest 2.4 percent to $2.26 billion in 2013, according to Kings County Agricultural Commissioner Tim Niswander.
Still, cotton lint and cottonseed in Kings County beat out all other California counties in 2012, according to the latest agricultural report issued by the county.
