Generating Profits per Acre

As with previous years when planning your crop inputs, likely your top priority is to generate profits per acre. Don’t let anything distract you from this yearly goal. As we head into 2024, potential profitability is great for those who plan ahead. If you’re looking to succeed and achieve your goals this year, the agronomists at Premier Cooperative are here to assist you. We are dedicated to helping you achieve a higher profits, with a variety of resources, tools, and expertise to get you there.

Despite recent fluctuations in the crop input industry, our agronomy team is here to help you make informed decisions for your operation. We recognize that these changes can be difficult to navigate, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Our team is committed to keeping you updated on Fertilizer and CPP market trends and ensuring sufficient supply in our warehouses before spring. As a full-service crop input supplier, we look to combine supply with exceeding your expectations in service. We understand that to gain a customer is one thing, but to keep them year after year takes effort and dedication. We also continue to bring and utilize new and innovative fertilizer products, herbicides, insecticides, seed treatments, fungicides, biologicals, scouting, and application.
Another tool to bring mention to is our detailed Crop Production Budget Worksheet, that can calculate all your inputs on a per acre basis and let you change your yield and selling price to aid in your grain marketing decision process. This worksheet has also been very valuable to be used with a banker or financial officer when working to secure financing.

Please take time this month to look over the Crop Production Worksheet and create a plan with your Premier Agronomist to reach your goal for a profitable 2024.

I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy the Independence Day holiday with family and friends. Thanks to all of you who called in your orders early and helped minimize the added pressure that the short work week brings. I’d also like to thank all of you who returned your propane contracts by the due date. With a short window of when contracts are mailed to when they are due back, we really appreciate your patience and support. If reading this reminded you that your contract is still sitting on the kitchen table, just pick up the phone and call the energy office nearest to you. Our friendly staff will be glad to take care of you. On behalf of our energy team and everyone at your cooperative, thank you for choosing us to serve your propane needs again this year.

I’m going to start with something most of you don’t want to hear. In 4 months, you will be firing up your furnace for the first time. In 6 months, you’ll be shoveling snow. I’m not suggesting that you should go out and buy that new snow thrower that you’ve had your eye on. However, now is a great time to buy propane for the winter.

Did you know that Premier Cooperative is the largest Up North Plastics dealer in southwest Wisconsin?  Top producers know that the best way to preserve the quality of high-value forages is to store their feed in Up North silage bags.   Up North plastic has 2 to 3 times the puncture and tear resistance of foreign competitor’s products.  With the ever-increasing value of feed stuffs, why risk using anything but the strongest, most reliable, time-tested bag on the market?  Match that with Up North’s outstanding service record, and you have a combination that is unrivaled in the industry.  Trust the protection of your feed with Up North Plastics.
