This article aims to analyze the trajectory of the agency and relationship changes between actors in a rural producer’s network that has been successful in the organization so far. The case study was carried out at Producers Association from Mountain Top Fields in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil - APROCCIMA in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. Two methodological strategies were used, one qualitative and the other quantitative. Two types of agency were observed: Partner mode and Intermediary mode, and six events in the studied network. From the events, an improvement in the structure of the network was observed in four of the five characteristics of relationships. It was found decreasing centrality, larger clicks, increasing density, decreasing assortment rate and increasing number of actors participating in the central nucleus of the network.
