    Minnesota? We are already considered as ‘Canada lite’. But we also have a strong number of Finnish heritage living ‘Up Norf’. So as a Minnesotan, I will allow it.

    Land o’ Lakes is/was a very old farm co-op store. They formed to buy milk from farmers and then turned it into butter and cheese. They also sold other things like feeds and fertilizers and fuels to farmers. Back in the 1970s, Land o’ Lakes was merged with 3 different farm co-ops and became Cenex. I’m still a member of Cenex.

    The brand name lives on in grocery stores mostly as a brand of butter.
