Agway died a while ago.
My Grandparents were one of the oldest dealers in Maine, started with Eastern States then switched to Agway when E.A. was rolled into them. Over 50 years, all out of a barn. You don't find businesses like that anymore.
We still have "Agways" around but it's just a badge, they're owned by Southern States now.
Agway left a very bitter taste in most folks mouths around here. Most of the farmers had invested in Agway and lost almost all of what they had built up. That and at the end of their independent life they really put way to much effort into selling home/garden stuff and forgot about the AG part.
Agway going belly up wasn't the reason my parents closed the doors, it had more to do with man power (it was just my dad after my grandparents passed away). The investment part, my grandparents never lived long enough to find out what they had lost.
I still use their grain, there's another dealer a town over from ours. My dad worked there for a while but it wasn't ever quite the same, although he did like working in a heated building. :-P
