In October of 1957, 12 local farmers joined together to form an agricultural cooperative.  It was to be known as Ag Coop Services and its headquarters were to be located in Sedalia, Pettis County, Missouri.  The Coop represented a wide demographic area including Cole, Callaway, Cooper, Howard, Moniteau, Morgan, Pettis and Johnson counties. The purpose of the new coop was to conduct an agricultural and mercantile business in a Cooperative business plan.

 

Fast forward to today, which is 49 years later and we find a multi branch farm supplies coop that is prospering, meeting the needs of its farmer owners and providing more and more products and services into the consumer market. With branch locations at Boonville, LaMonte, Sedalia and now at Otterville Missouri, Ag Coop as it has become known still provides those products and services that local farmers need and desire. 

 

Today, you do not have to be a member to enjoy the benefits that the Coop offers as evidenced by the many city and urban families that do business with the Coop. The Coop offers a diverse product line which includes its core businesses of fertilizer, chemicals, feed, gas, diesel and propane (LP gas).  They handle a wide variety of specialty products from garden seed to equine products and welcome the opportunity to meet your needs, whatever they might be.  Stop at one of their stores and see what they have.  If they don’t have it, ask.  They can probably get it for you.
