Wind and Rain Mineral

Upcoming Events.

Each winter, Premier joins our trade partners to host meetings on beef information to help your herd. This year is NO exception! We’ll be joined by Elanco to discuss feed conversions, Rumensin (a big player over the years in our programs) and the resulting return on investment. We’ll also feature a presentation from Corteva.  

Join us Tuesday, February 8th in Readstown and Wednesday, February 9th in Arthur, WI and get a free dinner and chance to win door prizes! To register, contact your local Premier Cooperative representative or office.
 
In addition, to the meetings, winter is a great time to take advantage of our mineral booking program to get the best price on Purina Wind and Rain Minerals and Tubs. Our sales reps and members of the Purina Team are always there to answer all your questions about the program and take care of anything else you might need.

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.
