Cooperative Producers, Inc. is a farmer-owned cooperative headquartered in Hastings, Nebraska. Although we came into existence in 1978 as a merchandising arm of six area coops, the CPI of today was formed in 2007 with the final merger of those coops.
CPI currently operates locations in 30 communities throughout South Central Nebraska. We offer a wide range of products and services in our agronomy, energy, feed and grain divisions.

At CPI, we wake up everyday with a singular focus in mind – to serve our customers well. We do that by providing the products, solutions and services they need to be successful. Success can be defined in many ways, but for us it’s knowing that the decisions we make every day live up to our six core values.

We constantly aspire to be the best we can be, and we work hard everyday to get there by ensuring that our producers, customers and employees are taken care of. At the end of the day, we know that if we take care of them, they’ll take care of us.
