Fremont Farms Partnership

Oct 31, 2022


Key is pleased to announce that as of November 1, 2022, a grain procurement partnership has been formed with Fremont Farms of Iowa (FFI) in Malcom. Fremont recently identified the need for a strategic grain partner to ensure they have a steady supply of corn for their pullet & laying hen facility. Key’s grain team, which includes merchandisers, field marketing specialists, and grain accountants will now be valuable partners to FFI and their producers. 

Both organizations will continue to offer the most competitive grain bids possible to support their respective businesses and local communities but now, FFI producers will have the ability to work with Key field marketing specialists for expanded contracting options, to better manage their risk and improve returns.

Key is focused on providing expanded market access and new opportunities to our members and area producers so we look forward to growing our membership through this partnership!
