This has been Giving Week at Land O'Lakes, Inc., where in addition to donating money directly to impactful organizations, employees have the chance to do all sorts of fun activities to raise funds. Our art contest inspired me to pull out my paper folding origami skills and build a geometric modular origami model showing that our organization is a complex woven intersection of different companies and brands that you know and I love. I designed and printed the paper with our major business unit logos and then set out to folding "Intersecting Cooperative", also featuring Truterra, LLC, Purina Mills, LLC, WinField United, and of course our famous logo found on our dairy and butter packaging in addition to the Land O'Lakes, Inc. "O'". Each company has its own distinct structure, but the model only holds together and stands upright when all the companies work together. I think it is the perfect way to visualize what a cooperative is. And, it was a fun way to participate and help raise funds.
