Over 100 years ago, a group of community-minded men concluded that a grain elevator in Hemingford was a necessity and would provide an outlet for grain being raised there. It was decided to build the elevator of tile construction with a capacity of around 30,000 bushels. Over the years, members have built the coop to a storage capacity of 12.2 million bushels of grain across 6 locations, dry and liquid fertilizer storage at 2 locations, and a feed mill and bagger. From the beginning there have been many trials and tribulations as well as additions and accomplishments. Several fires as well as mergers and departed services have changed the face of Farmers Coop throughout the years. However, our goal every day is to aid stockholders and area producers to achieve their goals through the combined effort that is your cooperative.

We would like to highlight your goals with a photo contest.
