Ownership

Local Sourcing

United Cooperative sources feed and grain supplies but details on local vs. national sourcing percentages are not provided. The cooperative serves Wisconsin and Midwest farmers but also operates ethanol partnerships and acquired ADM locations, suggesting mixed sourcing.

Community Involvement

United Cooperative returns profits to member-owners and gives back through local scholarships, support for FFA and 4-H chapters, and donations to local needs. Regular community engagement documented.

Local Workforce

The Sauk City location employs approximately 9 people. No specific information about wages, benefits, or employee tenure is available in search results, limiting assessment to neutral middle ground.
