track is taken from many
hours of interviews featuring
pioneer organizers, current
managers, officers of local
cooperatives, farmer mem
bers, and others who helped
create the rich heritage we
know as Pacific Northwest
wheat farming.
A deeper understanding
about the birth of the grain
cooperative movement shar
pens perceptions about to
day's operations and tomor
row's opportunities.
This show traces the evolut
ion from horses to tractors;
sacked wheat to bulk; pull
combines to self-propelled;
and a primitive marketing
system to a highly sophisti
cated and professional one.
Yesterday's events prepared
today's system. Today's
events will prepare tomor
row's. The slide presentation will
be part of the annual meeting
Nov. 10, 6:30 p.m. at the
Heppner Fairgrounds.
