What Is The Grain Growers Grain Company Ltd And What Does It Stand For

Excerpt from What Is the Grain Growers' Grain Company Ltd. And What Does It Stand For?: Five Years' Progress of the Farmers' Company Of course neither of these views is correct. The Grain Growers' Associations were organized in Saskatchewan and Manitoba in 1903, and a' little later similar societies were organized in Alberta. These associations, which were quite open and voluntary, had for their object the protection of the farmer's interests. It was hoped that a few thousand farmers working together in an organized body could do much that no individual farmer working alone could do. It can well be remembered that the con ditions under which the farmer was compelled to market his grain about 10 years ago were anything but just. He was practically at the mercy of a few dealers, who were backed by the railways, and he had to take pretty much what was offered him. The Associations did much to improve these unjustficonditions, but there was still a great deal of dissatisfaction among the farmers as to the treatment they were receiving.
