The cooperative's operations span several distinct technical areas. Agronomy services cover seed, fertilizer, crop protection products and custom application of agricultural inputs, while a precision agriculture team, marketed as Decision Ag, provides data-driven services to producers. Grain marketing operations run flexible contracting options and efficient delivery systems, and the feed division supplies bulk feed to livestock producers.

Its stated mission is centred on the success of its customers, employees and communities, and it supports local agricultural organisations, educational opportunities and community initiatives.
