Wilco opened its first farm store in the area on February 1 at 1401 21st Street in Springfield.

Located in the old K-Mart location next to Jerry’s Home Improvement Center, the Wilco Farm Store offers a full line of farm, livestock, horse, and pet supplies as well as work and western wear. The store also features True Value hardware and a garden center, along with pet grooming services.

Craig Carner, who previously managed the company’s McMinnville store, is the Springfield store manager. He has 30 years of experience in retail businesses. Carner lives on an 80-acre farm in Scio where he raises goats.

“We’re a complete farm store with products and services to satisfy customer needs,” said Carner. “We have a knowledgeable staff of people with animal and pet health experience, plus familiarity with all the products and services we offer. Our company is also very involved in 4H and FFA projects for young people in the area.”

Formed in 1967, Wilco is an agricultural supply cooperative serving customers throughout the Willamette Valley and Southwest Washington with ag centers, retail farm stores, petroleum stations, and fuel delivery services. Today, it is the Northwest's leading supply cooperative currently serving over 3000 members. Wilco has assets of over $50 million dollars and sales topped $140 million in 2007.
