MKC provides a complete line of supplies and services for grain, agronomy, energy, feed and risk management for its more than 11,000 members. More than 600 employees contribute to the growth and success of our cooperative. 

MKC was founded in 1965 by the merger of three neighboring cooperatives in Moundridge, Buhler, and Groveland. Since our founding, we have grown in size and territory through mergers and acquisitions to meet customer needs.
