Centennial celebrations for MFA cooperatives
October is Co-op Month, celebrated nationwide to spotlight the many ways cooperatives create shared prosperity for their members and communities. MFA was organized as a cooperative in 1914 by a visionary group of farmers who recognized the benefit of working together to leverage buying power and their collective voices. MFA continues to operate under that business model today, with an extensive network of company-owned retail facilities and local affiliate co-ops serving some 45,000 farmer-owners in Missouri and surrounding states.
Co-op Month is the perfect time to congratulate MFA’s local cooperative affiliates for reaching milestone anniversaries. Six are celebrating 100 years of service in 2020:
