Saskatchewan Wheat Pool
 PROFILE
It's obvious Saskatchewan Wheat Pool has its roots in grain. Founded in 1924 by Canadian farmers, the agricultural cooperative is Canada's largest grain company. The pool sells farm goods such as seed and fertilizer, markets and distributes farm equipment (augers, conveyors), markets and processes livestock, and publishes the weekly farm newspaper "The Western Producer". The co-op is most active in Western Canada, but it also has operations in Mexico and the US. The pool's 50,000 farmer-members own all of its voting shares. Non-voting shares are publicly traded; outside shareholders can own 10% at the most. Premium Brands has bought the pool's 41% interest in it for $41 million in cash and $5 million promissory note.
