There’s a reason why Gold-Eagle Cooperative has become one of the most successful grassroots organizations around. In fact, there are hundreds of reasons—their members.

For more than 100 years, Gold Eagle Co-Op has been grounded in north-central Iowa. This is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. This isn’t your grandfather’s cooperative, however. Built on the philosophy that we all prosper by helping each other, their fifteen locations offer updated facilities, modern technology, and a wide range of products and services related to feed, agronomy, and grain.

Gold Eagles roots run deep in north-central Iowa, where local farmers first banded together in 1908 to form the Farmers Elevator Company of Goldfield. From those humble beginnings, Gold-Eagle Cooperative has been united for more than 30 years to serve area growers’ needs.

Hot-dip galvanizing is the gold standard in the Midwest agricultural industry. Farmers know and understand the importance of making things last. This is an important factor when choosing HDG. Gold Eagle understands the lifetime cycle of the material and equipment that will last multiple generations making the coating very cost effective. The AG industry is a harsh environment for equipment and structures being exposed to the Midwest elements. The durability of the hot-dip galvanized coating ensures little maintenance will need to be done over the years. This means more time can be focused in the fields, producing, and storing a quality product. Without these grain handling systems farmers would not be able to store the crops used to feed the world.

This is exactly why Gold Eagle partnered with Lemar Industries. Lemar is a leader in agricultural fabrication specializing in grain handling.
