Certain Dicamba Product Use Appealed

I hope you were able to enjoy Thanksgiving with family and friends. And I hope you’ve recovered from your food coma. For the 10 of you (including my mom) who read my newsletter, you’ve seen how I’ve been promoting propane gas appliances and the available rebates. A couple of years ago, I was invited to attend a webinar and the folks on the webinar were claiming that if you’re seeing electrical power outages now, it may be multiplied by up to 100 times in the future if there is no more additional electrical generation. Of course that was a worst-case scenario, but it got me thinking. 

With harvest wrapped up across the countryside, it’s a natural time to reflect on the year and the results of all the hard work put into this season’s crops. From there, we start thinking about what else can be done to keep that success going.

We have recently wrapped up our latest fiscal year audit, and I am happy to report that your cooperative experienced another solid year in 2025. A notable achievement includes continued year-over-year growth from our feed division. Our energy team also maintained their steady performance and improved results over 2024. While grain farming was handed a more challenging year in 2025 with market volatility, high input costs, and trade uncertainty, the agronomy division pulled back from some of the recent highs but was able to grow volumes and services for their members. Each division ended the year with strong sales and positive earnings. Premier will report fiscal 2025 net savings of just over $15 million and total revenues at $285 million.
