About Us

Northern Star Cooperative Services opened its doors in 1922 as the Farmers Exchange.  Its goal was to provide farmers with reasonable, reliable prices on items needed for their farming needs. In March of 1932 the company filed for incorporation as a Cooperative.  In 1999, the name was changed to Northern Star Cooperative Services. 

The Northern Star Cooperative has continued to grow throughout the years. The cooperative has spent several million dollars in expansion and improvements over the past 20 years with little or no borrowed money needed.
