Velcro®, an engineered crop, consists of two distinct strains: hooks and loops. As any user of Velcro
knows, a strip of hooks clings to a strip of loops as the springy hook-shaped fibers latch through tiny but
firm loops. Gentle pressure allows the hook strip to be pulled from the loop strip. The user may repeat
the process time and again, making this product a convenient, versatile replacement for zippers, buttons,
snaps, laces, and other forms of fastener in wide-ranging applications.
California’s climate and soil conditions make the state an ideal venue for and successful producer of
both strains of Velcro. For obvious reasons, of course, the hook strain must be grown in fields separated
from those with the loop strain. This is often accommodated by widely spacing separate fields of the two
strains among large expanses of cotton, alfalfa, or other crops.
For competitive and industrial confidentiality reasons, of course, the crop is not widely highlighted in
crop reports. A little Velcro goes a long way, as both strains are densely packed on their respective
mature plants, and the entire crop is dwarfed by other field crops, most notably cotton. Nonetheless, the
crop is of high value and can be a substantial profit builder for the successful grower.
