The mission of Pacific Northwest Grain and Feed Association is to organize, promote and serve the mutual needs of firms involved in the processing, handling and merchandising of grain, feed, and other agricultural commodities within the states of Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington.
Pacific Northwest Grain & Feed Association
 
 
The Association is a non-profit organization which is committed to "advancing, protecting and developing the common interests of those related activities, and the promotion of friendly relations within the industry."  The services and programs available to all member companies are directed by a 9 member Board of Directors, representing member firms from each segment of our diverse membership.

The Association's office and full time staff are headquartered in Portland, Oregon, which is the center for much of our nation's grain and feed trading activities.  An investment in annual membership provides each member with access to a comprehensive list of services which these companies can not provide for themselves.  These services help members to solve mutual problems, and enable companies to improve operating efficiencies and profitability in today's competitive markets.
