Then, we were called the Western Growers Protective Association, and our mission was to fight for fair transportation rates for the agricultural industry. We brought the industry together to support a common goal with the philosophy that there is strength in numbers. As we've expanded to provide a lobbying voice in state and federal government, affordable health benefits, PACA support, legal and human resources guidance and more, this philosophy continues to guide our growth. We are here to satisfy one mission — to enhance the competitiveness and profitability of our members. Leadership Western Growers' leadership sets our association apart from the rest. Our executive team has close to 100 years of combined experience, and their direction has helped Western Growers to lead the charge in every facet of specialty crop agriculture.
