CHICAGO—Iowa-based farm services provider NEW Cooperative Inc. said on Monday its systems were offline to contain a cybersecurity incident, just as the U.S. farm belt gears up for harvest.
The cooperative operates grain storage elevators in the top U.S. corn-producing state, buys crops from farmers, sells fertilizer and other chemicals needed to grow crops, and owns technology platforms for farmers that provide agronomic advice on the way to maximize their harvests.
