Home / Leadership & Team

Farmers lead.
Professionals deliver.

Our board is drawn from the member societies themselves; our management team runs the Union, the Mill and the Brokerage day to day.

01 How We Are Governed

Authority flows upward from the farm

120,000+ farmers elect their societies' leadership; each society appoints directors to the Union board; the board appoints management and oversees the two subsidiaries.
