MONTE VISTA – In 1949, a group of forward-thinking farmers formed the Monte Vista Coop to pool resources to buy in bulk. Today, 75 years later, the Monte Vista Coop has more than 8,000 members and offers farming and ranch necessities.

“Another year has swiftly passed for Monte Vista Coop, and our unwavering dedication to meeting your needs remains steadfast. I extend my sincere gratitude to our employees and members for their invaluable contributions, which propelled us to another successful fiscal year,” he said.
Hinton spoke about the highlights of the past fiscal year and welcomed a “newer” board of directors.
“In 2024, we donated over $150,000 to various causes and continued our support for graduating seniors through scholarships, nurturing the next generation of leaders,” Hinton said. “We have a newer Board of Directors that is extremely focused on your company's future. We welcome your involvement in different coop committees and activities, along with providing any feedback. As always, my door remains open, and I look forward to engaging with more of you in the coming year. I wish all of you a healthy and prosperous year ahead.”
