Serving the farms and rural communities of Wisconsin and beyond
From seed and fertilizer to grain storage and marketing, we’re ready when you are
You’ll never run out of propane or fuel oil when you sign up with our delivery team
You probably already know United Cooperative supplies the feed, seed and fertilizer products farmers need to run their businesses. What you may not know is that we also supply propane and home heating oil to both rural and town customers. Or that we own and operate multiple Cenex fueling stations and convenience stores. Or that we are part owners in three ethanol plants. Part of our cooperative mission is to make our rural communities great places to live. If we identify a need, we try to be part of the solution, whether it’s through our financial commitments, service on local boards and councils or employee volunteer efforts. We’re here for the long haul, and pride ourselves on meeting or exceeding your expectations every time you call. It’s why we say, “Rely on us” in all of our cooperative branding. We don’t see ourselves simply as product or service vendors, but rather as community solution providers who work for you, our member-owners.
Although you may not think about us much outside of the busy spring planting and fall harvesting seasons, your local cooperative is an engine of economic activity. We provide full-time and seasonal employment opportunities to members of the communities we serve. We deliver the feed, seed, fuel, fertilizer and crop protection farmers need to run their businesses. And as part of United Cooperative, we return a share of our annual profits to our member-owners, in the form of patronage, which then circulates back through our local businesses, churches, golf courses, social organizations and more. Giving back to the community is one of the principles of cooperative ownership, and United Cooperative takes this responsibility very seriously. From financial commitments in the form of local scholarships, support for FFA and 4-H chapters, as well as donations to local needs including fire and ambulance equipment; to food pantries and recreational opportunities for kids. We also encourage our employees to volunteer in their communities, as coaches, mentors, board members and first responders.

As we head into the coldest part of winter, you can count on the energy team at United Cooperative to keep your tank filled with this clean-burning and economical heating fuel. Whether you own your tank or rent from us, we’ll make sure you get the propane you need for your home, shop or livestock buildings. And safety is always our first priority. We have options for one-time delivery, regularly-scheduled deliveries and even electronic tank monitoring equipment to let you know when you’re running low.
With balmy spring temperatures around the corner, it’s already time to start planning for spring planting. Proactively preparing your equipment is the best method to prevent unnecessary repairs and downtime during the busiest time of the year. Before you head out to the fields, get your equipment ready for action by taking a minute to review
When side dressing, it is always better to start early. We recommend starting side dressing corn around V4, as the roots really start to grow, and significant nutrient uptake begins to happen. As the corn gets over 12 inches tall, it can grow two to three inches a day in hot weather with good soil moisture, so it is important to make a plan with your agronomist for a timely side-dress application.
Today's agricultural developments make it possible for farmers to guarantee appropriate fuel supply without lifting a finger – a capability that wasn't available a decade ago. Thanks to advancements in technology, remembering to refill your bulk fuel tank doesn’t need to be stressful. As you enter planting season, consider enrolling in an automated fuel delivery program.
For generations, agricultural producers have chosen the superior protection and performance of Cenex® Ruby Fieldmaster® Premium Diesel Fuel and Cenex lubricants, to ensure their critical equipment is ready when it's needed most. Season after season, they've experienced dependable performance and extended equipment life, plus the peace of mind in knowing their operation's most valuable assets are protected.
When your business is powered by bulk refined fuels, such as farming, construction or trucking, the cost of fuel can make or break profitability. The best fuel prices are negotiated far in advance through fuel contracts. Manage your fuel price risk by starting with an Offer to Purchase contract from United Cooperative. An Offer to Purchase contract helps manage the ups and downs of the fuel market and links your fuel price need directly to the world market.
