501(c)(16)
From Ballotpedia
501(c)(16) is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax exemption status that applies to what the IRS calls "corporations organized to finance crop operations." These entities must be established by a farmers' cooperative registered under the Internal Revenue Code, Section 521, or its members. In addition, 501(c)(16) corporations must work in partnership with the founding cooperative to fund agricultural operations.[1]
Crop operations may include, but are not limited to, funding for farm equipment, crop cultivation, livestock, warehousing, shipping, and marketing.[2][3]
