A History of Innovation The ability to adapt to change and meet challenges head-on is embedded deep within the DNA of the Adams Group. The company’s presence in California can be traced back to the days of the Gold Rush, when a younger son from a large family in Missouri traveled west in search of his fortune. While he didn’t strike it rich in terms of prospecting, he did acquire a sizable amount of land in the northern part of the state. Realizing that a future in gold was uncertain, he looked to agriculture, mortgaging his land to the bank in order to pay for the irrigation that would allow him to plant and maintain orchards. When he suddenly passed away, the bank seized all the land, and the family moved to the Sacramento valley, fully committed to pursuing agriculture. Adams Grain was officially formed by David Adams, Sr., during the 1920s as a grower and exporter of malted barley to Great Britain, launching a heritage in specialty grains that over time evolved to include oil production – in the 1990s, the Adams Vegetable Oils company was the first organization in the United States to offer organic oils. Today, both Adams Grain and Adams Vegetable Oils are part of the larger Adams Group, which also includes Adams Trucking, Adams Seed, and Adams Australia. With David’s great-grandson Wayne currently helming the organization, Adams Group is enjoying its fourth generation of family ownership. The company continues to innovate and remain on the cutting edge of industry and technology.
