Our Mission: To empower our farmer-members by providing high quality agricultural inputs, reliable market access, and innovation solutions, fostering their economic success and contributing to the vitality of our rural communities.
History: Cimarron Valley Coop was founded in 1974 by a group of local farmers that saw a need for agricultural supply in Perkins, OK. At the time the coop originated, Perkins and surrounding communities were primarily wheat / grain based. In the 70s through the earlier 80s, the coop would take in on average 500,000 bu of wheat per year. After the coop was founded the original board had many ideas to grow the coop; some of the first major projects were the building of a bulk fertilizer facility, then a bulk fuel and cardtrol system, and shortly after that the board added a bulk propane facility in the late 70s. All of these facilities are in use today and continue to be the biggest fields the coop provides.
We serve our membership and agricultural communities spread over several counties including, Payne, Lincoln, Logan, Noble, Pawnee and Creek counties.
