West Central MN (between MMF and Larson's) | Yep
I called on a mega coop in my earlier years.
I had a bean that was 2 bu/ac better, cost the grower $2/unit less and was counted the same in their bonus plan rankings.
However the salesman had a new grill in his driveway and an new big screen in his basement. Management had a few trips as well.
I got 1/3 of the business and competition with the freebies got 2/3. Co-op “efficiency “ at its finest.
Gotta use your own head, not blind loyalty IMO.
