Tennessee
Livestock Producers is the marketing affiliate of the
Tennessee Farm Bureau and is recognized as its oldest
service company. "Producers" was started by
Farm Bureau in 1932 as a marketing cooperative doing
business at the Union Stockyards in Nashville. The purpose
was to establish a competitive bid for all livestock
at this Nashville market which in turn was used as a
benchmark price throughout the state. Today "Producers"
is wholly owned by Farm Bureau and continues in its
purpose to help maintain a competitive bid for livestock
throughout the state. The locations and methods have
changed but the purpose remains strong.
