ASSOCIATED GRAIN SOLD TO PERDUE AGRIFARMS

Middleton and Lewis Agricultural products was founded in 1921 in Parksley by James Middleton and William Lewis I. Originally the company was a produce broker of Eastern Shore grown products, including potatoes, vegetables, corn and other things grown here in an altogether different era of Eastern Shore agriculture. In the 1940s, the company refocused its efforts on grain and poultry and eventually became Associated Grain.
