GROWMARK recognizes International Co-op Day!

Tomorrow is the International Day of Co-operatives, which is celebrated the first Saturday of July each year. The theme for the 2018 International Day of Co-operatives is “Sustainable consumption and production”, creating an opportunity for co-operatives to show how they run successful businesses while respecting our natural environment and the resources it offers.

GROWMARK and the FS Co-operative System have always identified well with this philosophy. Environmental and social stewardship is top of mind in all aspects of GROWMARK’s day-to-day operations. With GROWMARK’s leadership, FS crop specialists throughout North America are front-runners in the education and implementation of nutrient stewardship on the farm, maximizing environmental consciousness in the minds of the farmers they serve and the general public. In energy, products such as FS branded Dieselex® Gold and FS Diesel Exhaust Fluid are just two of many environmentally friendlier options offered.

GROWMARK is one of the top four agricultural co-operatives in the United States and is owned by local FS branded ag supply and grain member co-operatives. In more than 40 states and the provinces of Ontario and Alberta, GROWMARK supplies products, services and expertise in agronomy, energy and grain marketing. The GROWMARK System supports its people and product lines with warehousing and logistics, as well as training and marketing support. GROWMARK celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2017.
