At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to the Seven Cooperative Principles—guiding values that shape our mission, culture, and connection to the members we serve. Our commitment to this principle shines through in the ways we invest in our local communities. We’re honored to stand alongside organizations making a real difference and even more proud to see both our board and staff living out the principle of Concern for Community with enthusiasm and heart.

Wanting to capitalize on corn futures price seasonality? There is no better way to do it than with GCC’s Summit Max contract. Our unique Summit Max contract helps to give our farmers the opportunity to take advantage of this peak pricing window for corn or milo. 

Planting a crop isn’t as simple as dropping seeds in the ground and hoping for rain. For corn to reach its full potential, conditions have to be almost Goldilocks perfect—soil temperature, planting depth, moisture, nutrients, seed protection, growth products, and weed control all have to be just right and timed carefully. Miss the mark on any one of those, and yields can suffer before the plant ever breaks the soil. That challenge is made even tougher by today’s high input costs, where every decision is a financial gamble and farmers are trusting that Mother Nature will cooperate months down the road. That’s where GCC and our experienced agronomists come in—working alongside farmers to help plan, manage, and fine tune their operations so they’re set up for the best possible outcome. Farming isn’t something you can casually try; it takes precision, expertise, and teamwork, which is why planting season can be one of the most stressful—and most important—times of the year.
