 |
Land O'Lakes butters up its customers. Its network of more than 1,100 community cooperatives serves 300,000 farmers and ranchers. The dairy co-op (#2 in the US, behind Dairy Farmers of America) provides its members with wholesale fertilizer and crop protection products, seed, and animal feed. Its oldest product, Land O'Lakes butter, is the #1 butter brand in the US. Land O'Lakes also produces packaged milk, margarine, sour cream, and cheese. The dairy industry and its markets have been consolidating, and the co-op has responded with acquisitions and joint ventures: It's forming a joint venture with Farmland Industries called Land O'Lakes Farmland; the venture will be the largest feed company in North America.
