Moving Forward
Viafield is a farmer owned and controlled cooperative that was formed in September 2010 thorough the unification of Farmers Cooperative (Marble Rock), Northeast Iowa Cooperative (Clermont) and Progressive Ag Cooperative (Northwood).
We are proud of Viafield's tradition and heritage that dates back to the late 1800's. Today that tradition is continued as we strive towards fulfilling our promise to provide innovative products and dependable service. As a cooperative, Viafield now serves over 3,000 farming operations in northern Iowa and southern Minnesota.
Each year the members of your cooperative elect a 9 person board of directors to set policy and provide vision for the future, while helping Viafield fulfill its promise to our customers. We look forward to a bright future and plan to keep finding better ways to "work for you."
Sincerely,
The Viafield Team
