Preparation is Key.

Harvest season is nearly here, and now is the time to get prepared. Whether you’re managing grain contracts or reviewing your records, having the right tools in place can make a big difference. Two key resources to help you stay organized and efficient this season are our member login and a solid understanding of your contracting options.

Contracting Options
Today’s commodity markets are unpredictable, but with that volatility comes opportunity. Rising costs and shifting prices can be challenging, but the right grain marketing strategy helps manage risk and improve returns.

Your local cooperative grain team offers a variety of contract options; Fixed Price, Basis, Futures/Cash, Price Later, and Minimum Price, plus the ability to place offers for future pricing. Reach out to your local grain office to find the best fit for your operation.

Harvest is a busy time, but with the right tools and support, it can also be one of the most rewarding. Let’s make this season a successful one.

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.

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.
