Today, 54 grower-members make up the Cooperative. Since its inception, each member, no matter how large or small his farm, is treated equally with each member having one vote. Equal voice in Cooperative business has helped to sustain progress and keep alive the pioneering spirit that originally brought the Cooperative into being. The Board of Directors is responsible for determining policy and providing direction for the management team. Day-to-day business operations are handled by the professionals that make up the Cooperative staff.
