Harvest Preparation

With harvest fast approaching, make downtime the thing of the past. Premier Cooperative brings you Cenex® fuel & lubricant solutions PLUS Cenex Automated Fuel Delivery (AFD) so you're always ready.

Why AFD (Automated Fuel Delivery)

  1. Smart Fuel Monitoring
    Our advanced sensor and electronic system installed in your tank automatically signals us when fuel levels drop below your set threshold—ensuring timely refills without the guesswork.

  2. Flexible Billing Options
    Choose the payment plan that works best for you:

    • Deferred billing – pay monthly for what you use
    • Upon delivery – pay as fuel arrives
    • Fixed-price contracts – lock in favorable rates and budget with confidence

  3. 24/7 Online Access
    Stay informed anytime with secure portal access to:

    • Real-time fuel levels
    • Usage history
    • Delivery records
      Plus, receive alerts when your tank reaches key levels. (Powered by Cenex)

  4. No-Cost Conversion
    Switching to AFD is easy and free—our team installs all sensors and monitors at no charge.

What to do now:

  1. Top off your tanks early with Cenex® Ruby Fieldmaster® Premium Diesel — great detergency, cold-weather protection, fuel economy gains.
  2. Use the right Cenex® lubricants and greases to guard your equipment through harvest’s tough hours.
  3. Enroll in the AFD program through Premier Cooperative so you never have to check fuel levels manually or worry about running out.

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. A few weeks ago, the Premier grain team spent the day reviewing safety and operational procedures to better prepare to serve our members’ needs during the upcoming season. 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. Thanks for your support and please be safe this harvest season.
Silage Feed Out Practices
Oct 01, 2025
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.
