Ottawa Co-op grows with farmers in Franklin County
The Ottawa Cooperative Association, formed in February 1950, pays farmers about 15 million dollars yearly for products and profit shares. It employs 20 and serves 2,300 members across Franklin, Douglas, Anderson, and Miami counties. The board of seven local farmers, with voting members earning over half their income from farming, aims to broaden city-farm relations while expanding storage to 1.7 million bushels and diversifying into fertilizers and chemicals.
