No 316010, Farmer Cooperative Research Report (FCRR) from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This publication reports on the many integrated activities and services of a local cooperative in the Pacific Northwest — the Pendleton (Oreg.) Grain Growers, Inc. Pendleton Grain Growers began as strictly a grain marketing organization in 1930, adding services as the farmers' needs required them. In three decades it built itself into one of the largest locals in the country. This publication describes the steps taken and the good business management practices instituted that have made this growth possible. These include helping improve the agriculture of the region, building close teamwork between management employees and directors, making good use of directors' talents and capabilities, conducting effective member and public relations, and following sound financial policies.
