Description
Guide to the GLF Collection, The History Center in Tompkins County
COLLECTION DESCRIPTION
This collection contains information about the Grange League Federation (GLF), a cooperative of farmers founded in 1920. GLF was an important organization for farmers in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. It provided a marketing and delivery service for farmers, owned large feed and fertilizer plants, sold farm equipment, and helped farmers in various other ways. Many farmers in Ithaca and Tompkins County were GLF members.
This collection contains basic background information about GLF, as well as annual reports and other records of Ithaca’s branch of the GLF. It also includes information about GLF leaders and groups that collaborated with GLF. One of these groups was Eastern States, which merged with GLF into Agway in 1964. Information about Eastern States is included in this collection.
Many GLF publications, including GLF Week and GLF Patron, are included as well. The records cover the period from approximately 1924 to 1993.
