Almonds Run in the Family
History of Tucker AG
Richard Tucker Sr. launched Tucker Ag in 1988 after a long history in the almond business. He was the former plant production manager for Tenneco West and later their Head of Grower Relations for Almonds, Pistachios, and Raisins. He quickly became a representative of the almond growers of California, using his knowledge of the industry to their benefit.
Around 1996, Rick Tucker Jr. joined the family business he’d watched his father build. Rick continually puts the needs of the growers first by handling their contract negotiations and crop reporting as well as acting as their agent in the packing industry. Tucker Ag works with both Seasonal Pool and Call Pool Growers and can help growers decide which program best suits their needs.
For over 20 years, Tucker Ag has served a base clientele of growers in California’s Central Valley and continues to work hard to help maximize the returns for their growers’ product.
Who We Work With
Almond Growers
At Tucker Ag, our top priority is representing the almond growers of California. Our company serves growers who are seeking sales, marketing and logistical expertise. We bring the resources of bigger companies to smaller growers, allowing them to compete effectively with the largest growers in the state. We also take pride in providing each of our clients personal and attentive service. They’re able to work with just one person to market and sell their product, which saves them time and frustration throughout the process.
Packers
A big part of representing growers is selling their product and cultivating relationships with packers. Packers are able to come to us for their buying needs, and we work with growers to meet their demands.
