Dear Patron:

We are pleased to announce the Boards of Directors at Central Farm Service and Ag Partners Coop have unanimously approved a study to evaluate the benefits of merging our two cooperatives.

During the study period, our businesses will continue to operate as usual and our patrons and employees remain our top priority.

Once the study is completed, the boards will assess the findings and determine if a merger would be beneficial for both cooperatives. We will continue to pursue this opportunity only if it is found to be positive for both our patrons and our employees.

Following the study, we will have more details to share with you. Thank you for your business and support.

Sincerely,

Kurt Koehler
Board Chairman, Central Farm Service

Andy Buckwalter
Board President, Ag Partners

Central Farm Service and Ag Partners Boards of Directors announced the beginning of a formal merger study on June 5th, 2025.   

Along with an independent consulting party, we have worked vigorously on the merger study since the announcement. Our goal was to expedite the study to complete the analysis as quickly and accurately as possible.  We achieved this goal together courtesy of the quality preparation work done ahead of the announcement by both Boards of Directors and Leadership teams of both cooperatives.
