New Vision COOP’s roots can be tracked back to the early 1900s to our predecessor cooperatives.
These early cooperatives were capitalized by selling stock in order to secure financing to purchase the privately- owned elevator. They handled coal, twine, oats, barley, wheat, rye, flax, shell corn, ear corn, timothy, mustard, wool, buckwheat and made feed in their early days.
“New Vision Co-op is a progressive, ethical cooperative providing quality goods and services and innovative technologies, with the vision to remain financially strong, competitive in the marketplace and committed to its members’ success.”
