Ceres Solutions Proud to Support Boiler Athletics
August 14, 2023 
Ceres Solutions Cooperative, the large local agribusiness serving Indiana and Michigan customers, has announced a three-year investment to benefit Purdue University sports programs. As a result, the company has been named the Official Partner of Purdue Athletics. Starting this fall, the Ceres logo will be seen prominently on the digital boards at games, mentioned on the Purdue Sports Radio Network and promoted in other campus opportunities throughout the Football and Men’s Basketball seasons. The Ceres Solutions employee group will also showcase their pride for this local university by showing off the Purdue logo on apparel and through company events and social media posts.
As the hometown farmer-owned cooperative of Boiler Country, Ceres has a long history of providing financial investment, academic scholarship support, in-class room expertise, and significant support to the University’s Alumni programs. For example, more than $100,000 has been invested in Purdue University students since the inception of the co-op’s campus scholarship program. In recent years, the CEO has been named a Distinguished Ag Alumni award recipient within the College of Agriculture. Ceres Solutions was also a key investor in the College of Ag’s dramatic redesign of the Department of Animal Sciences facility complex which opened in the fall of 2017, along with Ceres partner Land O Lakes. The company also provided a $100,000 donation to enhance the Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE) Building, where students can study in a designated area named for Ceres Solutions.
“We view this Purdue investment as a natural extension of our footprint here as the local farmer-owned cooperative, and our presence on campus. Our employees consistently report back how much they enjoy Ag Week and all the other campus events we’re able to help sponsor,” observed Ceres Solutions CEO (and Boiler Alum) Jeff Troike. “We benefit greatly from having this resource in our backyard… valued relationships are a great resource to help us improve our business, and we also utilize Purdue facilities and faculty expertise as we operate our own in-house Academy for high-potential employee development.”
“We serve a large geography in both energy and agronomy services, as well as animal nutrition. Whether our employees are diehard Boiler fans or not, we all understand and support this partnership with the University that means so much to thousands of our customers and members who work in our industry.”
