United States · Member-owned cooperative
Land O'Lakes is a member-owned cooperative in the United States, farmer-owned since 1921 and headquartered in Arden Hills, Minnesota. Its work spans dairy, animal nutrition and crop inputs, and each area serves a different set of customers. Land O'Lakes Dairy Foods makes dairy products, WinField United supplies crop inputs, the Purina business provides livestock nutrition in the US, and Truterra is part of the wider group. The cooperative is relevant to both farms and local agricultural retailers.
On the crop side, WinField United and the CROPLAN seed brand work through local agricultural retailers, who sell seed and crop protection to growers and advise them in the field. The animal nutrition business supplies feed for livestock under the Purina name in the US market. The dairy business turns members' milk into consumer and foodservice dairy products. Because Purina branding is also used by other companies in other markets and categories, the market and product type matter when looking at Land O'Lakes' Purina products.
Size of the business
In a November 2025 announcement, Land O'Lakes reported annual sales of USD 16.2 billion for 2024. The figure covers the whole organisation rather than any single brand.
What does the company offer?
Land O'Lakes offers dairy products, crop inputs through WinField United, Purina livestock nutrition in the US and Truterra.
How should a buyer make contact?
Land O'Lakes runs its dairy, crop input and animal nutrition businesses separately, and the company website lists the contacts for each. Enquiries are easiest to handle when they set out the intended application, project scale and required timing.
