Land O'Lakes, Inc. is a member-owned agricultural cooperative based in the Minneapolis-St. Paul suburb of Arden Hills, Minnesota, focusing on the dairy industry. The co-op states that it has about 3,600 direct producer-members, 1,000 member-cooperatives, and about 10,000 employees who process and distribute products for about 300,000 agricultural producers; handling 12 billion pounds of milk annually. It is ranked third on the National Cooperative Bank Co-op 100 list of mutuals and cooperatives. The co-op is one of the largest producers of butter and cheese in the United States.
Land O'Lakes was founded on July 8, 1921 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, by representatives from 320 co-op creameries as the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Association. This organization aimed to improve marketing and quality of butter, and thus increase the profitability of dairying.
The Association developed and implemented the systematic inspection, grading and certification of butter from member creameries, resulting in greater uniformity of product. The improved quality and uniformity, and the reliability of its grading system, were touted in advertising materials. In 1924, the uniformly graded sweet cream butter was given the name "Land O'Lakes" after a contest, and the certificate forms used by the Association included the "Land O Lakes" marketing name (Minnesota's state nickname is "Land of 10,000 Lakes").

David and Kevin Estrem, brothers who grew up on their family’s dairy farm in Minnesota, now grow corn and soybeans there, managing 5,400 acres over 45 farms. The Estrem family meets at “Grandpa and Grandma’s house” over their traditional morning coffee every day to discuss their game plan, and then they turn to modern Microsoft and Land O’Lakes technology for efficiencies that help get more bushels out of every acre. “My dad would be very, very proud,” David Estrem says.

Cuenta una leyenda escrita
Su bella protagonista que murió de dolor
Su alma entristeció
Gran misterio el que la envuelve
La mirada siempre ausente por un amor
Y desapareció.
Sólo vive en el recuerdo que dejó en su piel
Ya que jamás podrán volverse a amar
La noche le robó un final
Sólo vive en el recuerdo que dejó en su piel
Ya que jamás podrán volverse a amar
La noche le robó un final
Ni sus brazos ni su piel podrán volver a estar
Ni su llanto ni su sed le harán volver nunca más
Espera anclada en un regreso que nunca llegará
Ni sus brazos ni su piel podrán volver a estar
Ni su llanto ni su sed le harán volver nunca más
Espera anclada en un regreso que nunca llegará
Ni sus brazos (ooh ni sus brazos)
Ni su piel (ni su piel nooo)
Ni su llanto (ni su llanto noo, ni su piel no noo)
Ni su piel
La luna estuvo presente
Mágico momento en el que la seducción (ooh)
Les unió
Breve fue su dulce encuentro
Pues su apuesto caballero se marchó (ooh)
Sin dar explicación
Sólo vive en el recuerdo que dejó en su piel
Ya que jamás podrán volverse a amar
La noche le robó un final
Sólo vive en el recuerdo que dejó en su piel
Ya que jamás podrán volverse a amar
La noche le robó un final
Ni sus brazos ni su piel podrán volver a estar
Ni su llanto ni su sed le harán volver nunca más
Espera anclada en un regreso que nunca llegará
Ni sus brazos ni su piel podrán volver a estar
Ni su llanto ni su sed le harán volver nunca más
Espera anclada en un regreso que nunca llegará
Ni sus brazos (ooh ni sus brazos)
Ni su piel (ni su piel nooo)
Ni su llanto (ni su llanto noo, ni su piel no noo)
Ni su piel
Ni sus brazos ni su piel podrán volver a estar
Ni su llanto ni su sed le harán volver nunca más
Espera anclada en un regreso que nunca llegará
Ni sus brazos ni su piel podrán volver a estar
Ni su llanto ni su sed le harán volver nunca más
Espera anclada en un regreso que nunca llegará
