Alabama Farmers Cooperative, Inc.

Alabama Farmers Cooperative, originally the Tennessee Valley Fertilizer Cooperative, was organized in Decatur, Alabama in 1936 by a group of local county co-ops. Upon becoming a single entity, the new cooperative developed a modest plant in Decatur to satisfy the farmers’ need for fairly priced fertilizer.Over the years, AFC acquired or built additional facilities. Today, AFC has storage facilities for both liquid and dry fertilizer throughout the areas that it serves.

Alabama Farmers Cooperative (AFC) provides farmers in the Yellowhammer State a full range of agricultural supplies and services, including feed, fertilizer, seed, grain storage, and marketing, along with home-gardening items such as seeds and hardware. The co-op, which boasts 46 member associations, serving members in 49 US states; it owns and operates member-only co-op stores in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. AFC owns Bonnie Plants, one of the largest suppliers of vegetable and herb plants for the home gardener in the US, along with BioLogic, which makes forage products for wild game. AFC also operates catfish fish farms and supplies the foodservice industry with whole and value-added catfish.
