CORE BUSINESS: Propane and other fuels make up one of the four core businesses for the newly merged Co-Alliance Cooperative. Co-Alliance Cooperative and Harvest Land Co-op merged on Feb. 1.

Indiana is blessed with several strong co-ops spread around the state. Some thought the farm co-operative model was no longer viable several decades ago when Indiana Farm Bureau Co-op fell on lean times. It eventually merged with CountryMark, known today for its dynamic fuel business. Some services originally associated with Indiana Farm Bureau Co-op were later folded into Land O’Lakes, a large, multi-state co-op.
Meanwhile, many county Farm Bureau co-ops merged with one another, forming stronger business units. A few strong single-county co-ops still operate today. The idea then and now is that the customers own the co-op.
