To educate and inform educators and their students of the benefits that the cotton industry provides to the communities that we live in.

The Alaca Company, producer of “Cotton’s Journey-A Field Trip In A Box”, is dedicated to supporting educators as they teach our next generation about the multi-disciplinary aspects of cotton, and while building a communications bridge between the cotton industry and education.
