Memberships

Experience the Cooperative Advantage
Agricultural cooperatives help producers assure markets and supplies, achieve economies of scale, and gain market power through jointly marketing, bargaining, processing, and purchasing supplies and services. What started as a small group of Ohio farmers has grown into a thriving co-op reaching across Darke, Defiance, Mercer, Paulding and Van Wert Counties in Northwest Ohio.

Do I have to be a member of the co-op to buy or sell products?

No. Anyone can sell to and purchase from the co-op. No membership is required.

What is a co-op?

A co-op is established by a group of people or businesses to provide its members with products, services and expertise.

What makes us different than other non-cooperatives?

We do what’s in the best interest of the member vs. in the interest of the business. The board’s purpose is to represent the members and to keep Mercer Landmark profitable so it can continue to meet member’s needs. If we are financially successful, the members are financially rewarded through patronage.

What is patronage?

Annually, the co-op board determines how much of the profits must be retained for the future growth and success of the cooperative. The remaining profits are distributed to the members as patronage. Each member’s share of the patronage is based upon his/her purchases from the co-op. The co-op board determines what percentage of the patronage is paid in cash and what percentage is paid in additional ownership in the co-op (called “equity”).
