Wilco is a farm supply cooperative based in the Willamette Valley of the U.S. state of Oregon. It was started in 1967 with a merger of the Mt. Angel Farmers Union Warehouse, the Santiam Farmers Cooperative, the Donald Farmers Co-op, the Valley Farmers co-op in Silverton, and the Canby Cooperative.[1] The name "Wilco" comes from a shortening of "Willamette Consolidated".[1] The cooperative's headquarters are in Mt. Angel.[1]
