Serving Farmers Since 1936

Alabama Farmers Cooperative (AFC) has a rich history of supporting farmers since its inception in 1936. Originally established as the Tennessee Valley Fertilizer Cooperative in Decatur, AL, AFC has grown to include a wide range of services and facilities. All facilities operated by AFC are governed by local, farmer-owned cooperatives. Each member Co-op shares in the financial proceeds from AFC operations and benefits from the research and services of the entire Co-op system. Through diversity and strong leadership, AFC has grown to become one of the largest farmer-owned agriculture-related businesses in the Southeast.

We take pride in AFC’s rich heritage and the visionary leaders who have shaped AFC’s success over the past eight decades. Our executive team and Board of Directors bring extensive experience and dedication to serving our cooperative members.
