Land O’Lakes Corporate Office

Land O’Lakes is a member-owned agricultural cooperative which focuses on the dairy industry.

The cooperative was founded in 1921 by representatives of 320 co-op creameries as the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Association. It was formed to improve the quality and marketing of butter, thus increasing the profitability of dairying.

In 1924 the cooperative named its sweet cream butter Land O’Lakes, a play on the state of Minnesota’s nickname “Land of 10,000 Lakes.”

The butter was so popular that the cooperative’s name was often confused with the name of its product, and so in 1926 the organization adopted the Land O’Lakes name.

Today Land O’Lakes is one of the nation’s largest dairy cooperatives with 4,000 farmer/members and 900 member associations.

The cooperative makes over 300 dairy products from the 12 billion pounds of milk that members supply annually.

Land O’Lakes operates dairy facilities in the United States, doing business in all 50 states and 60 countries worldwide.

Land O’Lakes is #226 in the Fortune 500.
