ABOUT

Today's challenges make us a better company tomorrow.

Since the early days of the 1900's, Central Iowa farmers knew they needed a place to market their grain for a fair price. Now, over 100 years later, Heartland Co-op has evolved into the cooperative it is today with its 71 locations providing products and services to its farmer members/patrons.                                             

At each benchmark during the past 100 years, Heartland Co-op looked at the future needs of its members and chose growth over stagnation. The old, original elevators served the needs of those turn-of-the-century farmers who unified in order to put some clout in their grain marketing. We're still doing everything we can to give Heartland-area farmers a voice in the future of agriculture.

We believe in differentiating ourselves from the competition by providing unique, value-added and innovative solutions to our customers. Currently we are proud to have over 5,800 members and conduct business with them and others at one or more of our full-service, customer-oriented 71 cooperative locations around the state.
