Landus Community Engagement

At Landus, we are committed to fostering strong, meaningful partnerships in rural Iowa. Supporting initiatives that enhance rural vitality is at the heart of what we do, and we focus on projects that matter most to our farming families, employees, and the counties where we live and work.  This is accomplished through strategic partnerships, charitable donations, community outreach and a variety of civic service activities.  Through collaboration and a strong culture of engagement, we stay closely connected to local endeavors and empower, support, strengthen and guide our colleagues to take an active role in strengthening the communities we call home.

The Focus

Our Work Focuses on Three Key Areas

01
Rural Vitality

We strive to understand the unique opportunities in each community and provide tailored support. By aligning these efforts with Landus’ priorities, we embrace our responsibility to help rural communities thrive.

02
Youth Ag Leadership

Cultivate the next generation of agricultural leaders by fostering early interest in ag-related careers and providing meaningful development opportunities. We build strong connections between Landus, local schools, and youth groups, ensuring a vibrant and skilled future workforce for the ag industry.

03
Community Pride

Actively support and participate in local events and gatherings, including parades and town festivals, strengthening community ties and building pride in the areas we serve. Every personal connection in our communities is an opportunity to be a part of something meaningful and lasting.

The Landus Community

In alignment with the four pillars of the Landus Chevron: Rural Champions, Downstream Driven, Future Focused, and Sustainable Growth, Landus strives to uphold these pillars through charitable donations, community support, and other civic service opportunities. This is an opportunity for Landus and the greater Landus family to give its time, talents, and resources in our many communities.

The Four Pillars

Empowering Communities Through Landus’ Four Pillars

01
Rural Champions

As an Iowa-based agriculture solutions company, supporting rural communities is core to our values. Following the events of the past few years, it is more important than ever to ensure rural towns have the support they need to continue prospering for years, even decades, to come.

02
Downstream Driven

At Landus, farmers are our focus. We partner with them to solve challenges, connect with innovative solutions, and foster community through events. Our Foundation will expand these efforts to make an even greater impact across Iowa and beyond.​

03
Future Focused

At Landus, we connect farmers with trusted partners to solve today’s challenges. By bringing together diverse collaborators, we foster innovation to address issues in agriculture and rural communities.

04
Sustainable Growth

Sustainable growth encompasses many aspects: the continued expansion of our business, our industry, and our rural communities; the ability of our farmers to practice in efficient, effective, and sustainable ways; and the development of agricultural programs in our schools, among others.
