Iowa-based, farmer-owned cooperative Landus has launched a shared platform for ag retailers to partner and optimize their businesses and products.
As an alternative to traditional mergers and acquisitions, Landus says the Optimization Model allows participating companies to maintain independence, community presence and farmer relationships while optimizing logistics, technology, capital investments, employee talent and more through a shared platform and partnership.
Since Landus announced the model in April, three company’s have signed on including Snittjer Grain (Wellsburg, IA), NuWay-K&H Cooperative (Wesley, IA and Trimont, MN) and most recently, independent feed mill operator Mid State Milling (State Center, IA).
