agricultural co-op

Shared farming enterprise

An agricultural co-op is a business owned and operated by farmers who pool resources for mutual benefit.

Members might collectively purchase supplies, share equipment, or market their crops together to get better prices than they could individually.

Dairy co-ops and grain elevators are common examples: The agricultural co-op negotiated bulk pricing on fertilizer for its members.
