Following the sale of a portion of the cooperative, including the grain elevator, agronomy business and bulk fuel business, to Pride Grain in late March, all producers and creditors have been paid in full. In addition, through the receivership and sale, no jobs were lost. Pride Grain retained the employees that worked at the elevator and agronomy entities and plans to add more jobs in the future.
