COVID-19 UPDATE 3-19-2020

Mar 19, 2020


At Premier Cooperative the safety and wellbeing of our staff, customers, and communities is our top priority. With COVID-19 (coronavirus) having reached a pandemic situation, we need your help in keeping you, your families, our employee team and their families, and all our members, safe and healthy. Please keep in mind this is an ever-changing situation and we will be adapting as warranted.
  • We have implemented measures to help keep our staff and members safe, including restricting access to some locations/areas, changing hours, barriers for social distancing, and instructional signage.
  • Starting March 19, we will be restricting access to employees only at some locations. Please call the location before stopping. Contact information is available at premiercooperative.com and will be posted at locations.
  • Please limit your stops at our accessible facilities. If picking up feed or agronomy products, call ahead and we will have it ready for you when you arrive. When you arrive, call from your vehicle and we’ll bring it out to you.
  • Please limit interaction with delivery drivers and keep appropriate social distancing from all staff.
  • Please use technology—phone, email, text—to place orders and communicate with staff versus face to face when possible.
  • We may see some interruptions from suppliers. Our staff will help with substitutions if needed.
  • Our team is committed to providing the greatest products and service we can. With inevitable staffing challenges ahead, it’s critical that we receive feed orders at least 48 hours (2 working days) in advance to help our team meet your needs.
Thank you all for your understanding and support as we work through these difficult times together.
              Your Premier Cooperative Employee Team

If spring weather got in the way of planting your alfalfa, you're not out of luck yet. Summer seeding is still a solid option and it comes with some real advantages when done right.

August may not be a traditional planting month, but it’s a crucial time for growers looking to establish alfalfa or prepare for fall crops. For most of our trade territory, alfalfa should be seeded by August 30, ideally 6–8 weeks before the first killing frost to ensure strong root and top growth before winter. After September 1, success rates drop significantly.
