Key Cooperative | 1918 - Present

From the very beginning, agriculture has been a cornerstone of our economy and a lasting symbol of the American dream. While the nation is celebrating 250 years of American agriculture, your Iowa cooperative is celebrating 108 years of progress and shared success. 

Farming looks a lot different than it did 250 years ago. It’s even changed a lot in the since Key Cooperative was founded in 1918. Throughout the summer, we'll be sharing memories, giveaways and upcoming events in our communities on social media. Be sure to check it out!
