    1. WINTER STARTABILITY

      1. Engine gumming is the last thing cold drivers want to deal with. Propane starts up right - no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.

    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.
