Commitment to Employee & Customer Safety

April Agronomy Update

Changes Due to COVID-19

Spring planting season is always a crazy time for the Agronomy Division of Premier Cooperative.  This year we are dealing with the extra challenge of the pandemic virus COVID-19.  With safety a core value for us, the health and wellbeing of our employees, customers and the communities in which we live and work, will dictate how we conduct business this spring.  With this in mind, we have taken extra steps to help protect our customers and employees.

Customer Interactions

Our locations are open to employees and customers only. We are excluding outside venders, professional services and general visitors to help keep our team healthy and ready to serve you. We enjoy our typical walk-in customers and personal conversation, but under current COVID-19 conditions, minimizing face-to-face business will help limit the risk of community spread.
  • Please call or email orders to your appropriate agronomy center prior to arrival, then call when you arrive. We will have designated pick-up areas and bring the product to you.
  • We will continue to take care of our customers at our locations to provide the highest possible level of service.
  • On-farm Deliveries of Agronomy Products Will Continue.
  • Please call your location to schedule delivery or work with your agronomy location to accept deliveries when scheduled. The more advance notice we receive the better chance we will be able to meet your needs in a timely manner.
We will work with each customer to determine how they would like us to handle product delivery. Please describe where the product is to be dropped and allow the Premier employee to make the delivery alone. Provide your cell phone number in case of any follow up questions. If you must be present, we ask that you follow social distancing guidelines and limit conversation to essential discussions.

Please work with us as much as possible to refrain from non-essential face to face interactions.

  • Please call ahead to your local Premier Agronomy Center and an employee will meet you at the designated loading area for assistance.
  • We are asking customers to stay in their vehicle and orders will be brought to you. Please work with us as much as possible to refrain from non-essential face to face interactions.
  • An invoice or bill of lading will be provided and loading of your vehicle can be done solely by Premier employee(s).

Product Supply and Availability

Our team is eager for the spring season. Product is stocked and plans are made. We are ready to help you get the job done as safely and timely as possible. We will be proactively reaching out for early deliveries to ensure you have the product when you need it. Customers are encouraged to take early delivery of their product before the rush is in full swing. Our sales staff has been encouraged to work with each customer individually to anticipate your in-season needs to help ensure we can meet them. We continue to keep a close eye on our supply and inventory needs.
We look forward to providing you with your agronomy inputs and needs for this coming season and appreciate your business. Thank you for your understanding and support this spring.

By the time you are reading this, south central Wisconsin will be just over 45 days since vegetative growth stage (VT), otherwise known as tassel. Although many factors are taken into place, 42 to 47 days post tassel is a signal that the plant is ready to be harvested for corn silage. With how busy and chaotic this season may be, it is important to remember the basics to maximize your feed quality for the upcoming year.

Current headlines surrounding the fertilizer markets tend to focus on high prices and affordability issues, especially with falling commodity prices. Ratios comparing the bushels of corn needed to buy a ton of fertilizer have, in some cases, reached record levels. Multiple factors including supply, tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and other global events are influencing markets today. Together, these factors have led to volatility in the market and current high costs.

I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy Labor Day weekend with family and friends. As summer begins to wind down, and with the many fairs throughout the area coming to a close, I’d like to congratulate all the kids who participated this year. If you haven’t done so already, there’s still time to check out our website for details on how our members’ kids can earn cash for showing livestock at the fair. In addition to awarding thousands of dollars to participants each year, Premier is also proud to sponsor many of the trophies presented at some of the local fairs. In some cases, we also provide products and financial support to local 4H groups traveling to the state fair. Good luck to all of you as you wrap up another show season.
