Patronage
As a cooperative, Rocky Mountain Supply shares its success with the people who make it possible – our member-owners. We return patronage dividends based on the cooperative’s earnings and each member’s level of business with us, rather than paying profits to outside shareholders.
When shopping at any of our retail locations, be sure to place your purchases on your cash or credit account. Eligible retail purchases are included in your total patronage calculation, along with your agronomy and energy purchases.
Why Patronage Matters?
Patronage rewards member loyalty while strengthening the cooperative for the future. It allows us to reinvest in better products, services, and local communities, while giving members a meaningful share in the value they help create. Patronage is one of the key benefits of membership and a cornerstone of the cooperative model.
