Administrative history

The United Grain Growers, a farmer controlled co-operative elevator association, was established in 1917 with the amalgamation of the Grain Growers Grain Company (1906), and the Alberta Farmer's Co-operative Elevator company (1913). Its original purpose was to provide a co-operative alternative to privately owned grain elevators. As of 1951, the United Grain Growers owned and operated over 600 hundred elevators.
