Sales growth contributes to opportunities and technological advancements for members of Wisconsin-based cooperative.



LandmarkLandmark Services Cooperative was recently named a Top 25 National Sales Growth Winner by the Land O'Lakes Purina Feed Chow Honor Council (CHC). The award was presented to the cooperative at the CHC 2013 meeting held Sept. 4-8 in Palos, Verdes, Calif.

"This award is an honor for our cooperative team as well as our producer members," says Dave Haberman, Executive Vice President Animal Nutrition for Landmark Services Cooperative. "Because we are a member-owned cooperative, this growth in sales is a testament to our sales staff and has also helped us to explore new technologies and options to help our producers remain profitable."
