		The wheat pools enabled farmers to establish a grain-handling system owned and operated by and for farmers, and also gave them clout in negotiating with the railways, implement companies, and provincial and federal governments.
		The establishment of the pools was spearheaded primarily by three groups - the Saskatchewan Grain Growers Association, United Farmers of Alberta and United Farmers of Manitoba.
		Farmers who had built the institution watched in dismay as schemes to diversify away from grain handling drove the company to the brink of bankruptcy and led to a restructuring under which the American grain multinational Cargill entered into a "strategic partnership" with SWP.
