EP 34: Co-Op History, Harold Cooper CEO, and Leadership

How do you go from parking your farm equipment on someone’s windshield as an intern to the CEO of an industry-leading company? To kick off the Employee Spotlight Series, hosts Ryan Priest and Sal Sama are joined by the CEO of Premier Companies, Harold Cooper. Harold gives a glimpse into the history of Premier and how a career in the cooperative system can be incredibly rewarding.

“Farmers tend to be a very independent-minded, a very strong personality group of people, and for them to join and band together and do things that are expressed through us, and something that they own, something that they control, and to make sure that their voice stays in the marketplace, those are the things that Cliff, in my mind, was trying to give me a sense of that first summer that I have found true over a 40-plus year career.” You won’t want to miss this incredible story!
