The purpose of this thesis is to trace the chain of events which, through the years, culminated in the government estab- lishing the Canadian Wneat Board and vesting in that agency monopoly power in the marketing of wheat grown in Western Cana- da.

  • Corporate Greed Does Not Spare Cooperatives: Chronicle of the Disappearance of the Largest Agri-Food Cooperative in Canada by Assoumou-Ndong, Franklin
    Corporate greed does not spare cooperatives: chronicle of the disappearance of the largest agri-food cooperative in Canada by Assoumou-Ndong, Franklin Global and diverse cooperative enterprise, Saskatchewan Wheat Pool (SWP), now known as Viterra Inc., has been ranked for years among the 50 largest companies in Canada, including the first in the handling and distribution of grain and also the largest agri-food cooperative in the country. It was the pride of an entire province. Supporters of the cooperative model present it as an alternative model for excellence in business, based on a human vision of enterprises focused on community empowerment and democracy. In the late 1800s, after years of battle and frustration against government policies of capitalism’s free market in agriculture, farmers in western Canada understood the need to regroup, precisely in cooperatives, to counter the harmful effects of free market and speculative fluctuations in grain prices. Cooperation appeared then as an alternative to economic and social exploitation of the people, especially in rural communities. Cooperatives were becoming tools for social change to support members (or community) and the redistribution of economic power. In June 1924, nearly 46 000 farmers, producing mainly wheat, officially signed a new contract that united them under the banner of Saskatchewan Cooperative Wheat Producers Ltd . (incorporated in 1923); the cooperative was subsequently renamed (in 1953) the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool . The cooperative has gone through many difficult times, such as the Great Depression of the 1930s, and has had good years with instances of record operating surplus (profits) and healthy membership numbers of farmer members (Assoumou-Ndong, 2001a; Lang, 2007).
