In the Southern Region, Topflight Grain Cooperative,

in the Northern Region. The cooperative is managed by Mark

According to Davis Anderson, GROWMARK's vice president of
grain, grain member cooperatives are a valuable resource to
their owners and to GROWMARK. “At the local level, these
companies offer farmers total grain marketing services –
from traditional drying and storage, to sophisticated
marketing advisory services, to giving co-op members a link
to global markets. Our grain companies are the foundation
that has allowed us to become a leading grain buyer in the
Midwest,” he said.
The GROWMARK System has recognized grain companies for
their contributions for over 30 years.
