Wrapping up 2024

Emergence

Onto 2025.

As we finish out the year, most of you have completed a successful harvest, spending many hours in the combine or grain cart. During that time, you likely reflected on a few different things. The first thing being how your crop progressed from seed to harvest. You may have considered factors such as stands, emergence, early season weed control, insect impact, nutrient deficiencies, and nitrogen loss. During harvest, you might have noticed issues like rootworm damage, stalk quality, weeds, and disease pressure. The big question is whether these factors affected your yield and how to improve your crop management next year. There may be many answers to that question but one that we can offer is to contact your Premier Cooperative Agronomist. With training, field experience and technology our team has the knowledge and resources to help achieve your goals next year.

Similar to the last two years, we will be having “Year End Prepay Days” where we offer one-on-one appointments. These appointments ended up being very efficient and timely for all, giving us time to prepare in advance for the appointment and locking in a time for yourself to help in your day-to-day schedule as well.

Please call today and set up a time to meet and review your 2025 crop input needs and discuss your prepay options. The Premier agronomy staff will work to accommodate a time that best suits your request.
Thank you for your continued patronage in 2024 and we look forward to a mutually profitable 2025. All of us at Premier Cooperative wish you and yours the Merriest Christmas and the Happiest New Year!

As we head through February, it’s important to reflect on last year's challenges and adjust our plans for this year.

Well, we’re finally on the downhill side of winter. In my opinion, we’ve got it pretty good in southern Wisconsin as we normally only see three months of weather that can be brutally cold and that comes in streaks. If you think back to late November when we started seeing temperatures drop into the 30s, it seemed horrible. I spend a fair amount of my time outside, so after the cold snap in January, as soon as it got above freezing, I was ready to break out the t shirts and shorts. It’s funny what you can get used to.

On January 15th, Premier Cooperative held its 132nd annual meeting at WI Riverside Resort in Spring Green, WI. As part of the financial report, Premier CFO Andy Jones reported your cooperative had a very strong year with gross sales of $275 million and local net earnings of $16.7 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to the prior year sales at $308 million and $15.1 million in earnings. While total sales were down from prior years due to declining commodity prices, strong unit growth led by our feed and agronomy divisions, combined with solid performance from our energy and retail divisions helped to improve upon last year’s record local net savings.
