Looking for farming co - ops

Looking for the largest co - ops / any farming co - ops as I search for internships. I am a sophomore trying to break into physical trading and am trying to get an internship under my belt, such as a merchandising role at a farming co op. Anyone know any big co ops I can start to look at?

Thanks!

Playboi Carti, bummer your thread hasn't had a response yet. Sometimes bots are smarter than humans anyways:

Do you specifically want a Co-op? The big ones would be CHS, Land O Lakes, DFA, Zen-Noh (technically since Japanese), AGP, more regional ones would be like Heritage in IA, Co-Alliance in IN, MFA in MO, IAS In IA, Farmer's Coop in NE, 

I would also look at the smaller grain traders like Scoular, Gavilon, Anderson's, Columbia, CGB, GPRE, or even processors like SDSP, MN Soy, etc. 

 

Thanks for responding and giving me that long list of places to look at. It doesn’t specifically have to be a co op, but i’m looking at places where I can learn about physical trading, in any role, whether that’s merchandising (which I would most likely do at one of these places), traffic or on an actual trade desk.

 

I trade export ags at an ABCD and would be happy to get you into contact with a few people I know at co-ops around the Midwest! Shoot me a PM if I can help at all!
