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.

Member Login
Our new customer portal is designed with simplicity and convenience in mind. Whether you’re on your phone in the field or at your desktop in the office, the portal gives you quick access to:

  • Statements

  • Grain contracts
  • Settlements

It’s intuitive, easy to navigate, and available 24/7. Now is a great time to get familiar with the system before the rush of harvest begins. Log in here.

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.

Fall is here and harvest is underway for most of our area. Our grain facilities located in Mazomanie, Mineral Point, Richland Center, and Westby are anxiously awaiting this year’s crop.

Whether you need help hauling this year’s crop to the elevator or are still looking to finalize your grain marketing plan, give us a call. Our knowledgeable staff is looking forward to working with you to make this year’s harvest as safe and smooth as possible. Our team will do their best to meet your needs and they always appreciate the communication of trucking needs and your planned delivery dates.

As corn silage season concludes, it’s important to take a moment to recognize the dedication and long hours that went into securing the feed you’ll rely on throughout the coming year. We all aim to put up the highest quality feed possible, but in the rush of long hours during a short harvest window, it’s easy to lose sight of our true goal. Ultimately, we’re working to produce feed that is consistent, clean, and rich in nutrients. Once that hard work is done, the next critical phase is feedout. Here are a few key things to keep in mind as you move forward.

We had a good ending to our energy division fiscal year, so I’m glad I’m still here this month to write this newsletter article.

Since 2020, we have increased our delivery efficiency (gallons per mile) by 17.4%. We’ve also dropped the number of miles driven by 21% comparing 2025 to 2020. That equates to 66,776 less miles this year than in 2020. In other words, we saved about 2.7 circumnavigations of the globe, conserving over 13,000 gallons of diesel fuel we would have used to power our propane delivery trucks. Less diesel consumption means less pollution. Heck, we’re saving the planet without even trying.
