The story of the Jewell Grain Company has been one of continued progress from the beginning.
This business would not have progressed without the support of the loyal patrons of the Company, neither could it have been continued without the untiring efforts of those who managed and directed its years of progress.
Jewell Grain Company held its first stockholder’s meeting on April 4, 1912 and was capitalized for $12,000. On March 18, 1943, the articles of incorporation were amended to make the company into a cooperative organization. Today the company has assets of almost 5.2 million dollars. The company is currently owned by the 970 stockholders. Jewell Grain Company has 21 full-time employees at its three locations in Northwest Ohio: Jewell, Okolona, and Ney. Brent Petersen has served as general manager since 1998.
