MFA Oil Company

MFA Oil Company is a farmer-owned cooperative headquartered in Columbia, Missouri. Founded in 1929, it supplies premium fuels, oils, lubricants and propane to customers across eight Midwestern states - Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Its customer base ranges from homeowners to large agricultural operations.

The cooperative employs more than 1,600 people and operates from more than 80 bulk plant locations. Work spans several technical domains: fuel and energy distribution, propane distribution, petroleum products and lubricants, convenience retail operations and automotive tire service. Product lines include premium diesel fuel, gasoline, oils and lubricants, and propane.

Beyond wholesale supply, the company runs two retail subsidiaries: Break Time, a convenience store chain with more than 70 locations across Missouri, and Big O Tires franchises in Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas. These operations create roles in retail management, logistics, distribution and service.

Governance rests with a network of more than 320 farmer-delegates representing local communities, reflecting the cooperative principle on which the business was founded: that farmers and ranchers are best served by working together. Stated core values centre on quality service, community involvement and sustainable energy solutions, alongside a stated commitment to the agricultural sector and to reliable access to essential energy products at competitive prices.
