In 1944, a group of area farmers held a meeting in Ricardo to discuss and organize a cooperative for serving the area farmers. They purchased a cotton gin in the Ricardo community. This was the start of the only farmer owned organization in the county. As years passed, more growth and modernization was brought to the organization. More grain storage was built, the gin was remolded, and land was purchased around the facility for future growth. The CO-OP now resides in a 9000 square foot building. Storage tanks for liquid fertilizer were built increasing storage capacity to over 5500 tons.
