Commitment to Safety
It started back in 1915 when farmers united to achieve better milk prices. Lafayette Co-op Creamery started with just 2 employees. Today, United Farmers Cooperative has grown to over 200 full time employees. That number grows to over 250 with our valued part time and seasonal employees. Our membership has grown as well. From that first group of dairy farmers to our membership now, many legacy's of local cooperatives have united together to serve our agriculture communities. We are proud of our rich history and deep roots.
Our mission is to be a trusted partner for the high-quality, dependable products, services and insights that help those who count on us to achieve their goals. Our vision is to provide sustainable solutions and exceptional service that enables current and future generations to achieve success.
All hailing from different areas of expertise, meet the men and women who lead and support our teams. Their unique areas of expertise contribute to the success of your coop.
UFC is invested in creating a positive safety culture for every employee across all locations. Safety culture is acheived when people start thinking of it as a daily practice and not just a set of rules and guidelines to follow. Our Soar to Safety program and fun activities like safety week, help us promote safety culture across UFC.
Soar to Safety is UFC's safety program that concentrates on reinforcing positive behavior of those working safely around us. We have representatives from across divisions and locations that meet monthly to review and continue to improve our safety efforts.
Every year at the end of July, we host a safety week at UFC. We kick off the week wearing our safety shirts with the years theme and host an employee and family picnic on Monday nights with different health screening and wellness activities to participate in. Each remaing day has its own safety topic that promote safety at both work and home!
