Having provided 100 years of service to area farmers, the Garden City Cooperative celebrated its centennial Friday with a come-and-go reception at the main office in downtown Garden City, KS, reports The Garden City Telegram.
For Otis Molz, longtime co-op board member and past president from Deerfield, the Co-op needs to continue to change to be truly beneficial to its members and continue to align itself with multinational companies through joint ventures.
Molz credits the Co-op’s successful longevity to excellent management and having knowledgeable and dedicated directors to fulfill the association’s goals even when it demands that they put aside their personal preferences for the greater good of the cooperative.
