August 2026

August is an exciting month for Premier Cooperative as we officially welcome the members, employees, and communities of Farmers Union Cooperative into the Premier family.

For our new members, welcome. We are grateful for the opportunity to earn your business and serve your operations. For our existing members, thank you for the trust and support you continue to place in our cooperative. Together, we are building a stronger organization positioned to serve agriculture for years to come.

While August 1st marks an important milestone, our focus remains on what comes next. Members supported this merger because they wanted a cooperative with the resources to continue investing in people, facilities, technology, and services while maintaining the local relationships that matter most. That commitment will continue to guide our decisions as we move forward.

As we look ahead to the upcoming harvest season, we understand how important it is to have the right people, facilities, and services in place to support our members. Bringing our memberships together strengthens that foundation and gives Premier a greater ability to serve you through the busy seasons and challenges, as well as the opportunities ahead.

As member-owners, your voice matters. I encourage you to stay engaged, share your feedback, and challenge us to continue improving. The best ideas often come from the members we serve, and your input helps shape the future of this cooperative.

On behalf of our Board of Directors and employees, thank you for your business, your membership, and your confidence in Premier Cooperative. We are excited about the future and look forward to serving you for many years to come.
