AgSource Cooperative Services is entering a new chapter. It is transitioning to an independent cooperative entity by May 1. Dan Diederich will lead the co-op as its CEO.
“As an independent cooperative, we’re eager to build on the strengths that have made AgSource a trusted partner for dairy farmers and the greater agriculture industry for over 65 years,” Diederich says.
Diederich, a dairy farmer and former president of AgSource’s council, brings extensive experience and firsthand knowledge to guide the cooperative’s strategic direction. He will work alongside a team of experienced senior leaders.
“I’m honored to accept this role and lead a team that is dedicated to the success of our members and customers and embodies the cooperative spirit,” he says.
AgSource will continue to provide comprehensive DHI services, including test day sample collection, laboratory analysis, and dairy records processing, along with agronomic testing and consulting services. AgSource’s headquarters will remain in Madison and continue operating from six laboratory locations across Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska.
