Farmers Cooperative Assn. is a Full-Service Member Cooperative located in Platte County, NE. that was started in 1907. We originally started our business plan in the summer of 2018, and our goal was to be a viable resource in our Agronomy business for our members. To achieve this, we had our Management Team and Board of Directors spend a lot of time as we put together our game plan. Our first phase was to centralize our operation to help us gain efficiencies.
We moved our NH3 Plant, Liquid Fertilizer Storage, and Dry Facility east of town. We toured a lot of facilities and compared Dry Fertilizer builders. We selected Stueve Construction because of their experience, quality construction and their ability to design a facility that meets our needs. Our second phase is to add a Chemical/Seed Warehouse to our Agronomy complex in the future. — Lyle Herchenbach, General Manager
