Case Study: First Cooperative Association achieves real-time grain management and scale automation with Cultura Technologies' AGRIS and oneWeigh

First Cooperative Association Relies on Cultura Software’s Flexibility

First Cooperative Association (FCA) is an Iowa-based cooperative founded in 1886 that today serves producers from 20 locations with grain marketing, crop inputs, feed ingredients and fuel. Rapid growth and diverse profit centers created complexity across operations—scales, pits, load-outs and third-party integrations—so FCA needed a flexible, single-platform system to keep transactions, field records and customer accounts organized and real-time.

FCA implemented Cultura Technologies’ AGRIS product suite, adding oneWeigh truck-scale automation, AgroGuide for field and input management, and iView for customer online access. The integrated solution automated scale operations with message boards, pit monitors and exterior receipts, sped driver turnaround, improved load verification, centralized reporting and gave customers online access to tickets and settlements—streamlining operations and supporting FCA’s continued growth.
