It’s been a busy year at Land O’Lakes.  

We've given back to our community by logging countless volunteer hours and donating food and backpacks filled with school supplies. We've produced high-quality dairy products and distributed them across the United States. We've created nutritious animal feeds to keep farm animals happy and healthy. And we’ve developed innovative crop input solutions, including new AI-driven tools to help farmers thrive. This work has given us countless stories to celebrate. 

Let’s take a look back at some of the great products produced across the enterprise, the resilience our cooperative demonstrated this year and fun memories from 2025 through a few features we published.

Land O'Lakes cheese muscles into the protein game 

Protein is trendy—just like Land O’Lakes dairy products. 

More than ever, Americans are reaching for protein to improve their overall health and wellness. Recent market research from Circana shows that 41% of adults are looking to increase their protein intake, partially fueled by the popularity of weight-loss drugs. 

Cheese is a nutritious and satisfying way to add protein and support a balanced lifestyle—in one tasty, Land O Lakes-branded package. A single ounce of cheddar cheese, for example, offers about 6 grams of protein, along with other nutrients like calcium, several B vitamins and phosphorus.

Rising from the storm and building for the future 

Our cooperative always stands together. 

After enduring the destruction of a tornado at the Purina Animal Nutrition Center—also known as the Farm—in Gray Summit, Missouri, the Land O’Lakes community showed its passion, character and vision for the future. 

The tornado decimated multiple buildings in both the equine and dairy units and caused severe structural damage to numerous others in its wake. The 1,200-acre, industry-leading working farm is home to thousands of animals, and, by early the following morning, each one was accounted for and had their basic needs addressed. Without normal power for nearly four days, the immediate recovery efforts required immense teamwork, alignment and collaboration.

WinField United employee gets a ‘corny’ proposal 

Love thrives on the farm. 

Caroline Liggett, who works at WinField United as a sales development manager, got a taste of internet fame this summer thanks to her elaborate and gigantic engagement. Her boyfriend, Tim Sullivan, secretly planted a 13-acre corn maze at his family’s farm in Ohio using a high-tech tractor and precision planting to spell out, “Will you marry me, Caroline?”   

Caroline says Tim took her up in a plane for the big reveal and to pop the question. The story has been shared by media outlets such as NBC News, The Washington Post and People Magazine. We caught up with Caroline to hear all about how it went down—from planning and planting to their viral engagement.
