Here's what some of today's leaders in agriculture
are saying about Growers National Co-op...

As an individual, I know I do not have much clout
in the marketplace when it comes to insurance and financial
services products. I pretty much have to take what I can
get. However, with a purchasing group of thousands of farmers
who share a common need, our chances of gaining
access to certain products and services has to be better than I
can do on my own.

Producers and past Chairman National Wheat PAC

As a farmer and Chairman of the Grain Growers
Membership and Insurance Trust (GGMIT), I have seen first hand how
banding together the purchasing power of individual farmers into a
group can benefit us. Growers National Co-op can take
this concept to a whole new level.
Mick Majors, Chairman Grain Growers Membership
& Insurance Trust (2001); past President District 8 Nebraska
Wheat Growers Association

As a past President of the American Soybean Association,
I have seen first hand the benefits an individual farmer can receive by
banding together with a group of fellow farmers to purchase products
through a cooperative. I am excited and fully support what Growers
National Co-op is trying to do with their product line. I
not only plan on being a member but plan on patronizing the cooperative
often.
John McClendon, Chairman American Soybean
Association Membership & Insurance Trust; President (2001)
Arkansas Soybean Association; past Chairman American Soybean Industry
Council; President (2001) Lee County Farm Bureau

One of the only ways to effectively change something today in agriculture is
to muster enough support and a loud enough voice so everyone hears
you. An individual voice just doesn't have much effect
anymore. I see the combination of GNC and
the state agricultural associations as a terrific partnership not only to
bring needed products and services to members but also to bring the
voices of masses together once again.
Rick Vallery, Executive Director (2001) South
Dakota Wheat, Inc.

The concept of bringing America's leading agricultural
associations and their members into one united purchasing group through
a cooperative that offers products and services that play a key role in
almost every farmer's day-to-day operation is a terrific idea.
Carl King, President (2001) Texas Corn Growers
Association
