Cooperative Producers, Inc. (CPI)

CPI is a full-service agricultural cooperative serving Central Nebraska and North-Central Kansas.  Diversified services include grain handling, storage and marketing, energy, fertilizer, crop protection chemicals and related services.  Committed to growing partnerships, CPI works closely with others in the industry to bring value to our owners and the communities we serve.

Pushing yields to new levels requires closer attention to detail.  Placing the proper nutrients at the right time, rate, and place helps to maximize yield and minimize the cost in financial, economic, and environmental terms.  The 4R Nutrient Stewardship is consistent with CPI’s focus of using precision agriculture to profitably enable American agricultural producers to feed a growing world population while protecting and preserving precious natural resources.

4R Consistent Products and Services 

CPI300 – A comprehensive data-driven decision making tool for maximizing productivity and profitability on every acre.  Includes all Precision Farm Solutions programs as well as soil moisture profile monitoring, seed selection and placement, soil type analysis and mapping as well as comparison data from thousands of other acres with similar characteristics.

Precision Farm Solutions – Precision Variable Rate Technology (VRT) fertilizer application based upon grid-sampling, nutrient credits, water credits, and application timing.

Nitrogen Stabilizers to prevent volatilization and leaching of all forms of nitrogen fertilizer (anhydrous ammonia, dry urea, and liquid UAN).

Phosphate Efficiency Enhancement – enhances the amount of phosphate available to the plant reducing the need for over-application and promoting better plant health.

Soil Moisture Profile Monitoring to reduce over-watering on irrigated soil, helping to prevent leaching of nutrients and reducing the energy required to grow crops where possible.  Also available is variable rate irrigation capabilities for center pivot irrigation systems.

Promote Split-Application of Fertilizers to make important nutrients available the growing crops at precisely the right time.  This is accomplished through offering multiple forms and application methods including “Fertigation”, application of nutrients through properly equipment center-pivot irrigation systems.
