I was never a member, but they owned the local elevator for a while. They would dry and store my corn, but wouldn't buy it. I'd have to have it loaded back out in semis and hauled somewhere else.
Back in 1974, before the local milk plant closed, they had a plant over west of here. I was hauling at the time. NFO closed their plant in September of that year and stuck members for all the milk they had shipped up to the closing date that month. There were two loads that switched to Carnation and started bringing their loads over here. We took on another route and bought the guys truck. He wanted to retire and didn't want to haul over here.
They tried to get a toe hold in the milk market here in the 60s. Got a few people to join up. They all had trouble getting out of the contract and kinda got the shaft. I remember a picture on the front page of the local paper when they were dumping milk. They had a Ford County 6 hooked to one of those side slinger manure spreader slinging milk in a field, putting on a show. I can still remember that the story in the paper ended with ' A dog was seen in the field licking up the milk later ' .
