 |
Begun in 1914 when seven Missouri farmers got together to buy 1,150 pounds of binder twine, agricultural cooperative MFA today ties together 45,000 farmers in Missouri and adjacent states. MFA, the US's oldest regional co-op, supplies its member-owners with manufacturing, distribution, and purchasing services. It runs 200 retail service centers and produces about 400,000 tons of beef, dairy, and swine feeds each year. Its seed products division sells soybeans, corn, and fertilizer, and its farm supply division sells products ranging from fencing to twine. MFA is one of about 20 regional co-ops that own Universal Cooperatives, a farm supply cooperative serving the US and Canada.
