ITEM 5 Other Events

On July 19, 2000, Land O’Lakes and Farmland Industries announced an agreement to establish Land O’Lakes Farmland Feed LLC, a joint venture that will consolidate all aspects of the feed businesses of Land O’Lakes and Farmland. The joint venture will combine Farmland and Land O’Lakes production, distribution and marketing of formula feed and feed ingredients, animal health products, and pet specialty products. Products sold by the joint venture will be branded with the trademarks and brand names currently used by Farmland and Land O’Lakes.

Farmland will contribute our feed fixed assets, inventories and certain other assets to the venture in return for a 31% equity interest in the venture. We anticipate the transaction will be consummated, and the joint venture will begin operations, late this summer.
