Centra Sota Cooperative is a customer owned company that provides goods and services to both the agricultural market as well ... as the urban consumer. The Centra Sota story began in 1922 when Central Minnesota farmers formed a dairy cooperative and became the first to manufacture Land O’Lakes sweet cream butter. Since then, our business has continued to evolve as we strive to not just meet, but to exceed the expectations of our members and our growing base of customers. We are now a well-rounded cooperative with strong business units in agronomy, energy, feed and grain, country stores and lawn care. read more
