It's Harvest Season.

Harvest is upon us. Premier Cooperative’s Grain Division is prepared to receive what we hope to be a bountiful crop this year. We have spent a lot of time doing preventative maintenance to ensure quick unload times at each location. This will help ensure limited breakdowns during the busy harvest season.

As we begin harvest, our members can help us prepare. We receive several calls about incoming loads that can now be easily accessible through our mobile friendly login called POCKT. You can log into your phone or computer by using your current eagvantage login credentials. The new app gives you access to see contract balances, load information, settlement information and proof of yields. We currently apply member loads at the scale, giving you access to your weight tickets as soon as they are printed.

When receiving grain, we need to know the following information:

  • Who owns the grain?
  • Is the load to be split?
  • Do we need to include special field notes?
  • How to apply the load? (grain bank, priced, contract)

This will help speed up the process at the scale and during payment. If you are a new member looking to deliver grain please complete the new account application online prior to delivery. You can also contact your local cooperative to complete account set-up.
Any member looking to receive payments for grain quicker than a check are welcome to complete our direct deposit grain form found on our website, premiercooperative.com. For those members looking for on-farm pick up, we will operate the same as we did last year. Your advance notice is much appreciated when securing resources to help improve our logistics service. We look forward to a safe and successful harvest this fall.

Crop and weather conditions are aligning for a potentially strong year, making this a season worth investing in. The majority of corn and soybean fields are showing excellent growth and yield potential. However, the consistently high relative humidity over the past few weeks has created ideal conditions, not only for crop development, but also for disease pressure, particularly tar spot. When tar spot reaches 50% severity on the ear leaf during grain fill, yield losses of 20-60 bu/ac have been reported.

I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy the Independence Day holiday with family and friends. Thanks to all of you who called in your orders early and helped minimize the added pressure that the short work week brings. I’d also like to thank all of you who returned your propane contracts by the due date. With a short window of when contracts are mailed to when they are due back, we really appreciate your patience and support. If reading this reminded you that your contract is still sitting on the kitchen table, just pick up the phone and call the energy office nearest to you. Our friendly staff will be glad to take care of you. On behalf of our energy team and everyone at your cooperative, thank you for choosing us to serve your propane needs again this year.

I’m going to start with something most of you don’t want to hear. In 4 months, you will be firing up your furnace for the first time. In 6 months, you’ll be shoveling snow. I’m not suggesting that you should go out and buy that new snow thrower that you’ve had your eye on. However, now is a great time to buy propane for the winter.
