You don't say where you are from. Agway as a corporation has been gone for several years here (Finger Lakes region). The corporate building in Syracuse has been vacant for that long also. Back several years ago, Growmark and Carolina-Vail divided up the marketing territory up here for seed, chemicals, and fertilizer.

Some people got the short end of the stick when it came to grain marketing. Agway was a company that could not hold focus as it grew. It was very inefficient financially the last decade and change it existed. There are some here that probably have a more precise explanation as they probably knew people much closer to the situation than I was (ordinary customer).
