We’re committed to your growth and success.

Welcome to
Allied Cooperative

Our cooperative has a long and proud history of serving farmers throughout Central Wisconsin. With roots dating back as far as 1912, our cooperative was formed when a group of farmers joined together in order to gain greater purchasing power and maximize potential for success in their farming operations. We take that legacy seriously. Though we have had mergers, acquisitions and many changes over the years, our shared commitment to our member-owners has never wavered. We exist for our members.  

Allied Cooperative is a great place to work, and it's a great place to do business. Let us show you the Allied difference!   

Membership Information

We believe there are many reasons to join our cooperative - great service, competitive pricing, and an array of member benefits are just a few.

As a farmer's cooperative, voting privileges at Allied Cooperative are limited to active producers of agriculture products who meet the minimum purchase requirements. However, all members agriculture or non-agriculture -- qualify for member benefits.

Joining the cooperative is easy. Simply complete a membership application/credit application and return to Allied Cooperative.

Our History

While the Allied Cooperative name is young, our cooperative is anything but. Our roots date back to the late 1910s and early 1920s, when farmers in several local communities formed cooperatives to help improve their purchasing and selling power and improve stability in their farming operations. 

Over the years, these cooperatives merged and acquired new business units to improve efficiency and enhance services. In October 2023, ProVision Partners Cooperative and Allied Cooperative joined together to form the cooperative our members see today. Believing that the cooperatives already had two strong names, the Boards made the decision to forego the expense of rebranding and trademarking a new name, and chose to move forward with ProVision Partners Cooperative, doing business as Allied Cooperative. 

While much has changed over the years, our commitment to our members and the cooperative tradition continues to stand the test of time. It’s a tradition we are proud of and one that we plan to build upon well into the next generation.
