Farmers Coop Society is proudly farmer owned since we were founded in 1907. This month we are happily celebrating our members with National Coop Month! The biggest benefit of a cooperative is that the profits benefit the local members, while ensuring access of the local goods on a national market.
Farmers Coop Society was formed in 1907 with the desire of local farmers to provide a sound and fair business where they could purchase and sell farm commodities. Today, we still proudly deliver sustainable Ag Business solutions to our members. Cooperatives are community- born and community led organizations. FCS proudly generates jobs in our local communities, keeps your profits local, supports local community organizations and puts millions of dollars back into our local communities through property taxes, wages, sales taxes and local spending.
Like all Cooperatives, Farmers Coop Society is overseen by a local board of directors. They make executive decisions with a coop and members first mindset; we care about meeting our member’s needs. We would like to sincerely thank all of our members and customers, FCS’s success is driven by you!
