Our Story
Clifford Farmers Elevator is a farmer-owned cooperative based in Clifford, ND. We have multiple locations in east-central North Dakota, providing products and services for grain, agronomy, and propane.
Our purpose… is to serve our farmer members, and work with them to help contribute to their success. We work hard to return a large portion of our earnings back to our members in the form of patronage.
Our employees are accountable, self-driven, and relationship focused. And we’re vested in our communities, by actively supporting them through donations and volunteerism.
“Clifford’s main mission is to make sure you’re happy and taken care of. It’s kind of like working with family. They’re personable and treat you right. They’re also willing to work with you.”
— Brandon Hamre, Hillsboro, ND
Clifford member for more than 12 years.
Board of Directors
Our board includes 7 members who are voted on from the region they represent. Each cooperative member has an equal vote in these elections.
