Our Story
Rooted in Tradition Driven by Innovation
Landus is a forward-thinking agriculture solutions company that keeps the farmer at the center of every decision we make. We connect thousands of farmer-owners with the world through grain, agronomy, and distribution, deploying traditional and nontraditional methods fueled by innovation and sustainability. Our $2.4 billion business touches 34 states and 16 countries.
A Legacy of Growth and Transformation
Over a Century of Agricultural Evolution
Landus’ earliest known roots date back to 1888 with Farmers Elevator and Livestock Company in Jordan, Iowa. Over the years, dozens of elevators, grain companies, feed millers and suppliers, agronomy facilities and even a hardware store and energy company have merged, changed hands and banded together to remain relevant and strong in a global marketplace.
The transformations culminated in 2016 with the founding of Landus. Take a look at our timeline, which lists the 60+ companies that helped build Iowa agriculture.
