A Farm Bureau Service Company

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.
