The Colorado Grain and Feed Association promotes the commercial and
economic interests of its members, as well as greater cooperation and general
good will within the larger agricultural industry. The organization was created
in 1925 as the Colorado Grain, Milling and Feed Dealers Association. In 1945
the association approved a new constitution, indicating at least a minor
reorganization. Following a revision of the constitution in 1951, the Colorado
Grain, Milling and Feed Dealers Association was incorporated as a non-profit
corporation. The name was changed in 1962 to the Colorado Grain and Feed
Dealers Association and again in 1971 to the Colorado Grain and Feed
Association.
Membership consists of individuals, firms, corporations and
cooperatives engaged in the production or distribution of grains or grain
products such as flour, meal, and commercial feeds. The association's efforts
are guided by its fifteen-member board of directors. Headquartered in Denver,
Colorado, the Colorado Grain and Feed Association continues to embrace the
commitment to foster cooperation for the stabilization and improvement of the
grain and feed industry.

Records of the Colorado Grain and Feed Association, Colorado
Agricultural Archive, Colorado State University.
The Records of the Colorado Grain and Feed Association was donated to
the Colorado Agricultural Archive by Paula Geary, Executive Director for the
Association, on July 1, 1981. The Colorado Agricultural Archive became part of
the Colorado State University Libraries in 2004.
The collection was received in disorder, although an original order
could be discerned from the numbering system on folder labels. A new series
arrangement was created which corresponded generally to the original filing
system, and files within each series were grouped together. During processing,
documents were re-housed in acid-free file folders and boxes. Rubber bands and
paperclips were removed, and news clippings within scrapbooks were photocopied
onto acid-free paper. Photographs were housed in protective sleeves and placed
in the photograph series.
