Multer knows firsthand how important

Jerry Multer of Wall, Texas
 

Multer knows firsthand how important TCGA is to the state's cotton ginners. Whether it's a labor or regulatory issue, he can attest to how vital it is to have the support of an organization that has served the industry for more than 100 years.

Multer has been around cotton his entire life and was raised on a farm in Ballinger, Texas. His grandfather started a cooperative gin there, and his own father was board president of that gin. As a teenager, Jerry worked at the gin while attending high school.

He went on to graduate from Texas A&M University in 1971 and served in the Air Force before accepting a job with the Production Credit Association. After spending a couple of years in East Texas, he and his wife Donna moved back to Wall where he did some farming and kept his ties to Wall Cooperative Gin.

When the previous manager at the gin retired after 37 years, Multer was offered the job. He has never looked back and is happy to be part of a gin that has a long history dating back to 1950.
