Founded on March 10, 1914, MFA, which once stood for Missouri Farmers Association, traces its beginnings to a meeting of seven farmers in a one-room schoolhouse near Brunswick, Missouri.
By banding together for economic strength, members of the Newcomers Schoolhouse Farm Club saved $400 in several group transactions.
From that meeting emerged a cooperative that grew to become the largest business enterprise in the state.
MissouriToday, MFA Incorporated is a Midwest-based regional agricultural Cooperative serving more than 45,000 farmer/owners in Missouri and adjacent states.
