Rooted In Tomorrow
Co-Op or Corp? Understanding the cooperative business model.
Consumers generally have positive attitudes about cooperatives. They are less sure about their level of understanding of what one is, how their purchases benefit members, and how an ownership structure is different from other business models. In this episode, Chris Pearson joins host Kim Olson. At the time of this episode recording, Pearson was the Vice President of Crop Nutrition and cooperative alliances for Winfield United. He's since been promoted and taken on a new role as SVP and President of Animal Nutrition at Land O'lakes, Inc.
