Wilco is a farmer-owned farm supply cooperative that began as the Santiam Farmers Co-op in the 1930s based in the Willamette Valley of the U.S. state of Oregon. In 1967, the Santiam Farmers Co-op merged with 4 other co-ops, the Mt. Angel Farmers Union Warehouse, the Donald Farmers Co-op, the Valley Farmers Co-op in Silverton, and the Canby Cooperative to form "Wilco Farmers Coop". The name "Wilco" comes from a shortening of "Willamette Consolidated". The cooperative has four divisions — Hazelnut Growers of Oregon, an ag business division that provides customers with crop protection products and fertilizers (Valley Agronomics), a fuels division for commercial petroleum, lubricants, and residential propane delivery and the farm store division. Today, the farmer-owned cooperative operates 24 retail farm stores throughout Oregon, Washington and California. The retailer carries a wide range of hardware supplies alongside land, lawn, garden, livestock, and pet-related products and services. The farmer-owned cooperative's headquarters are in Mt. Angel. Hazelnut Growers of Oregon processing plant and headquarters are based in Donald. In 2011, Wilco launched a program to support local FFA, called FFA Forever, collecting donations from vendors, employees, and customers. As of 2019, the program had collected more than 1 million dollars to benefit the Oregon and Washington FFA Associations.
