Frank Nutting was a lawyer and businessman who led the California Associated Raisin Company and helped shape the San Joaquin Valley raisin industry in the early 20th century. The son of W. R. Nutting, who founded the American Seedless Raisin Company in the 1890s, Frank Nutting was born in 1876 in Worcester, Massachusetts, and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1900. After establishing himself as a lawyer in his private San Francisco firm, he purchased his father’s company in 1911 and worked briefly under a contract with the Sun Maid Raisin Growers, also founded in part through the work of his father. Later, he became involved in a series of legal actions and investigations to break up the monopolization of the raisin industry under the Sun Maid collective. In this interview, Nutting discusses his family history, the rise of raisin growing in the San Joaquin valley, the Sun Maid Raisin Growers investigation, and the effects of the Great Depression on agriculture.
