Superior Ag is a member-owned cooperative that provides crop protection products, seeds, crop services, grain storage, grain marketing, animal nutrition, power fuels and lubricants.

Superior Ag's story began back in the late 1920's, when four local counties, Dubois, Gibson, Spencer & Warrick, each had their own cooperative. In 2007, the four local county cooperatives merged to form one cooperative system - Superior Ag.

Just as Superior Ag comes from a strong foundation, local family farms also have a story. A family farm is more than a business, it’s a lifestyle that has been passed on from generation to generation and it’s an ideal worth preserving.

Superior Ag has teamed up with 14 News WFIE to celebrate the farmers of today and tomorrow, and to honor a local farmer every month to be our Cream of the Crop. As a grass roots program, nominations come from the Tri-State.
