Bruce Taylor’s esteem for his hometown was made apparent when he opened a new Taylor Farms headquarters in the city’s historic corridor last year, helping revitalize Oldtown Salinas. He’s got superpower-level pull in the ag industry, leading hundreds of employees in the bagged salad company. But the center of the company remains the Salinas HQ, which also houses an ag tech incubator operated by the influential Western Growers Association.
