Five Star Cooperative is an agricultural cooperative with a long history in Iowa. We are owned and governed by our farmer-owners through a board of elected directors—and we’re here for the long haul.
When you become a member, you gain more than just access to high-quality products and services—you become part of a trusted community that puts your success first.
Becoming a member of an agricultural cooperative offers a multitude of benefits to agricultural businesses and farmers, empowering them through collective action and shared resources.
As a member-owner, you share in the cooperative’s success. Profits are returned to co-op members through patronage dividends and equity redemption programs, ensuring that your investment in Five Star benefits your bottom line.
Leverage the buying power of the cooperative to receive competitive pricing on fuel, agronomy products, feed, grain services, and more. Members also gain access to special discounts and promotions throughout the year.
Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you make informed decisions. Whether it’s agronomic guidance, livestock nutrition planning, or grain selling strategies, you can rely on Five Star’s experts to support your operation.
Stay ahead in the industry with access to precision agriculture, data-driven decision-making, and energy-efficient solutions. At the same time, take advantage of financing programs such as RateStar Crop Input Financing—giving you both the innovation and the financial flexibility to grow smarter.
By joining Five Star Cooperative, you’re investing in a business that reinvests in your community. Our cooperative model ensures that decisions are made with local farmers and businesses in mind, fostering economic growth in the areas we serve.
With decades of experience, a strong financial foundation, and a commitment to long-term sustainability, Five Star Cooperative is a reliable partner for generations to come.
At Five Star Cooperative, we offer two classes of membership to fit the needs of our patrons. Whether you’re an active agricultural producer seeking a voice in governance or a loyal customer who wants the advantages of membership without voting rights, there’s a place for you in our cooperative.
Even if you’re not ready to become a member, you can still do business with Five Star Cooperative as a valued customer. Our products and services are available to everyone, and customers may open an account with an approved account application. Membership simply offers additional benefits and opportunities for involvement.
Anyone can be a Five Star Cooperative customer through cash or card sales. You can also apply for an account by completing an account application to have an account on file. This is separate from being a cooperative member.
Download and complete the Application for Membership (W-9), then submit it to Five Star Cooperative for board review. Applications are reviewed regularly during scheduled board of director meetings.
Upon approval, membership is established according to the class requirements above.
Each year, the board of directors determines the patronage rates by department and sets the method of distribution. These decisions are based on the cooperative’s success from the previous year while also accounting for upcoming investment needs.
If you have questions about patronage, please reach out to our team.
