Tennessee Farmers Cooperative (TFC) keeps the cows fat, the bugs away, and the tractors running. TFC supplies about 40,000 products -- including animal health products, feed, fertilizer, outdoor power equipment, seeds, and tires -- to some 70,000 Tennessee farmers. TFC's other services include finance, credit, public relations, and risk management. It also operates about 150 retail outlets serving the public as well as co-op members. Its research and supply partners include CF Industries, Universal Cooperatives, CoBank, and FFR Plant Breeding Research Cooperative. Founded in 1945, TFC operates in a pyramid structure in which farmers own more than 70 local co-ops that, in turn, own TFC.
