New feed mill advances Crystal Valley's growth mission

Bob Raue, vice president of feed for Crystal Valley Cooperative, believes the key to a co-op’s success is its ability to anticipate future needs over focusing on short-sighted goals.

With that as a guiding principle, the Mankato, Minnesota-based farm supply and grain marketing cooperative developed a master plan for growth, leading them to conduct a study in 2019 with Land O’Lakes on three of its four feed mills throughout the state at the time.
