PCCA Announces Integration of Telmark Operations

LUBBOCK, TX — (Sept. 19, 2025) — Plains Cotton Cooperative Association (PCCA) announced today that it will integrate the operations of Telmark, its wholly owned subsidiary, into PCCA.

Telmark was originally established to provide cooperative-style services to independent gins. Integrating Telmark into PCCA ensures continuity of service while creating efficiencies that will help keep costs low.

“As the cotton industry has changed, so has PCCA’s mission,” said Kevin Brinkley, PCCA President & CEO. “Integrating Telmark into PCCA allows us to extend the benefits of our marketing programs more broadly, while continuing to provide excellent service and keeping costs low for all gins and growers we serve.”

Telmark’s employees will continue their work as part of PCCA, moving into new roles across Sales & Marketing, Accounting, and Cotton Services. Their experience and relationships will ensure continuity for Telmark customers while strengthening PCCA’s overall team.
