The boards of directors of two Indiana-based agricultural co-ops have approved their proposed merger.
Wabash-based North Central Co-op and Crawfordsville-based Ceres Solutions will merge operations and begin serving customers as Ceres Solutions Cooperative September 1, 2017. Jeff Troike, president and CEO of Ceres says the strengths gained through the merger will be significant.
The companies will now serve members in 29 Indiana and 7 Michigan counties and will provide agronomic and energy services and feed and grain facilities to more than 60 locations throughout the two states.
