About The Company
Our Operations Premier provides supplies and services in the agricultural and energy sectors, including liquid fuels, retail fuel, propane, seed, fertilizer, crop protection, grain, pork production and retail supply. Our operating divisions include Premier Ag and Premier Energy. Our History Since our founding in 1927, Premier Ag Cooperative has put the customer at the center of everything we do. This focus has led to our place as an integral part of the communities we serve. It has also brought us national attention from the industry we represent. In 2019, we were named the Ag Retailers Association Retailer of the Year. This recognition came for many reasons, including a commitment to safety, environmental stewardship, building value, community relationships, and more. Awards aside, however, what’s most important is that our members, customers, employees and communities can confidently say that we uniquely understand them and make a positive difference in their lives.
