Learning the cooperative structure involves more than just agriculture

By Kerry Watson, Communications Specialist

Lane Allison, Seed Logistics Coordinator for MKC, was selected to join other students from across the nation to learn how cooperative businesses operate for the benefit of their customers. Students participated in the NFU College Conference on Cooperatives, sponsored by the CHS Foundation, CoBank, Farmers Union Industries Foundation, National Farmers Union (NFU) Foundation and others.  The event focused on how and why cooperatives succeed in America's competitive business environment.
