How We Compete In A Global Ag Economy
North Central Farmers Elevator and Wheat Growers have competed very well
against each other for many years. We know that if the proposed merger goes
through, the new cooperative will need to be even more competitive going
forward.
The past several years we have seen several multi-national companies enter the
current marketplace.


ADM has facilities at Tulare, Miller and Harrold.
Cargill entered the market in a joint ownership in Aberdeen.
Gavilon has facilities in Oakes, ND and Kimball, SD.
Wilber-Ellis, CPS, and Pinnacle have expanded in the agronomy business
the past couple of years.
 CHS continues to be aggressive as they expand their regionalizations
throughout the upper Midwest.
While both companies in our own right are large, the combined sales of the new
coop will be several times smaller than any multinational company that we
compete against in our current marketplace.
