Wildorado, Texas (Sixgun Siding)
(Special Collections Library, Texas Tech) The Producers Grain Corporation (PGC) was a regional grain marketing cooperative headquartered in Amarillo, Texas.
It was organized by twenty-nine country elevators in April 1938. It opened international trade markets for the Great Plains sorghum production primarily to Japan (Zen Koren) and Mexico (Conasupo) during the 1950's and 1960's.
PGC collected grain from Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas, Arizona, and New Mexico.
It had corporate operations in Lubbock, Fort Worth, Plainview, Corpus Christi, Texas and Colton, California.
Feed mill operations beginning in 1945 served the ranchers and farmers of West Texas, western Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas.
The company celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1988. After financial difficulties in the early 1980's, PGC sold to Agri Industries. Link
