Americot, Inc., a leading supplier of cotton seed, is pleased to add long-time cotton industry veteran Sales Representative Scott Stockton, who will be responsible for servicing cotton growers, consultants and seed dealers in West Texas.

Americot General Manager Terry Campbell notes that Stockton grew up on a cotton farm and has extensive regional experience working with the cotton industry. “Stockton has worked many years with West Texas cotton growers through his association with several cotton organizations,” Campbell says. “He will help increase Americot’s presence even more in West Texas. He’s already making a difference with his extensive gin and grower contacts. We’re really excited to have him on the Americot team.”

Stockton grew up on a family farm southwest of Lubbock; his grandfather also farmed cotton south of Abilene. While he was growing up, Stockton farmed for a grower in Lubbock County. After graduating from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Agricultural Education and later with Masters in Agricultural Education, he worked for the Texas Department of Agriculture in marketing. He then worked for the National Cotton Council and later the Plains Cotton Co-Op Association as Director of Field Services.

“I’m thrilled about joining the Americot sales team,” Stockton says. “Terry Campbell has assembled a team of absolutely top notch cotton people from Texas through the Carolinas. And their outstanding Americot brand and NexGen brand cotton varieties offer high yield potential and excellent fiber quality.”

Stockton and his fiancé, Kerrie, have a 17-year-old son, Taylor; a 16-year-old daughter, Bailee; and two 13-year-olds, daughter Reagan and son Hagan. They will live in a 70-year-old home that they are remodeling just outside of Wolfforth, Texas.
