Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Report

In September 1946, the Northern Nut Growers Association gathered in Wooster, Ohio, for a three‑day convention that brought together growers, scientists, and industry leaders from across North America. The opening pages list the elected officers—president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, and a host of directors—each representing a different corner of the continent, from Washington, D.C., to Cornell University and the University of Illinois. Their names and home addresses instantly convey the personal, community‑driven nature of the organization.

Beyond the leadership roster, the report unfolds into a detailed membership directory, committee assignments, and a roll call of state and provincial vice‑presidents. Names of orchards, nurseries, and individual growers pepper the pages, offering a rare snapshot of post‑war agricultural networks and the people who tended the nation’s nut crops. Listeners will hear a living document that captures the cooperative spirit, regional diversity, and meticulous record‑keeping of an era when growers relied on shared knowledge to rebuild and expand their industry.
