  • Get updated field maps to Ag Center
  • Take delivery of seed corn, alfalfa, and soybeans
  • Alfalfa and winter wheat stand assessments
  • Pre-plant weed control on your corn and soybean acres
  • Plant timely and accurately
  • Pop-up starter fertilizer applications with Ascend and zinc

  • Pasture fertilization

From the Manager's Desk
May 29, 2026
We began the month of May by distributing this year’s patronage and equity redemption checks at our open house events in Mt Horeb, LaFarge, and Westby. While the nice weather may have kept many of our producer members busy in the fields, we still managed to have a great turnout at each of the events. If you were not able to stop in to pick up your check this year, all remaining checks were mailed out by the end of May. If you were expecting a check and have not received it, please give our office a call.
