That's two syllables. 'Co' and 'op'.
Don't say "coop", like: the chickens live in the coop, 'cause that's not what I'm talking about.
The co op in my small home town has been around for a long time, important for the farmers in the area.

Gasp.
And that's small town farming? I really have no idea of the value of these things, but that sounds significant to me.

Sometimes I wonder what all that machinery is doing.
Mostly when I go by, I'm just looking at the odometer to make sure I'm staying below the speed limit.

One normally sees it written as co-op. To distinguish it from coop.
I wonder what the co-op here pulls in. It didn't occur to me that it could be a multi-million dollar business.
I agree that's the common spelling...maybe I'll change it...
