About Premier Cooperative

Premier Cooperative is an agriculture and consumer supply business, dedicated to providing its members/customers with the products and services they desire. Established in 1893 as Patrons’ Mercantile Cooperative in Black Earth, Premier is recognized as the oldest consumer and farm supply cooperative in the Untied States. In 2000 Patrons’ changed its name to Premier Cooperative when the Mount Horeb Farmer’s Cooperative merged with Patrons’. Since then we’ve merged, acquired or partnered with numerous cooperatives or businesses. Each company that is part of Premier today brought a rich history and helps complete Premier’s culture of community.

Premier has five different divisions operating in 25 Wisconsin communities. The divisions include agronomy, feed, grain, energy and retail. All of our divisions aim to provide the highest level of customer service to our patrons in a safe and compliant manner at all times.
