About Farmers Cooperative Elevator Company

"A Cooperative Spirit - Cooperative Success"

Farmers Cooperative Elevator Company (FAC Cooperative) is a member-owned company serving agriculture and building trades across the Midwest.  FAC was started in 1937 with a small group of area farmers coming together. We serve grain, feed and farm-supply needs of local farm members.  We have grown into a diversified company serving both large and small customers across many product lines.

Our core business is manufacturing feed for hogs, cattle and poultry. FAC mixes nearly 300,000 tons of high quality feed annually. With a team of dedicated employees and fleet of 10 feed delivery trucks, FAC is the premier feed supplier in west central Iowa.

FAC also sources corn and soybeans for its feed operations and merchandising opportunities. FAC’s grain division handles 11,000,000 bushels of corn and soybeans annually. The company offers a variety of cash grain contracts and services for its grain customers.

Like many Midwest co-ops, FAC provides top-notch agronomy services to its customers with Certified Crop Advisor (CCA) agronomists, reliable programs, quality service and precision agriculture. FAC sells and applies fertilizer, farm chemicals and seed to keep producers current with today’s quickly changing agronomy practices.

Lumber has always been a part of FAC’s wide range of services. Today a team of professionals deliver cutting edge building materials and service to the building trades industry. Providing lumber, steel siding, roofing materials and everything in between, FAC can help you build your project with affordable, quality materials. Through our design estimating department, we offer professionally drawn plans and blueprints.

FAC also operates cardtrol fuel stations at Arcadia and Westside. These 24-hour fueling stations provide convenient, quick and affordable fuel to our customers.

And last, but certainly not least, is Iowa SIPS (Structurally Insulated Panels) manufacturing division. FAC prides itself in building high quality, highly energy-efficient SIP’s for nearly any project—from homes to fire stations.

FAC has grown and diversified over the years. But one thing remains the same—the Cooperative Spirit and Cooperative Success that started long ago.
 
Pulling together to grow and build quality products. That’s what FAC is all about!
