January 2025

Happy New Year to each of you from the staff at Premier Cooperative. I hope everyone was able to take a break over the holidays and spend time with family and friends.

On January 15th we will be holding the 132nd annual meeting of the members of Premier Cooperative. The agenda includes reports from CFO Andy Jones, board chairman Steve Burns, and myself, along with the announcement of director election results and scholarship recipients.

While we will take a moment at the annual meeting to review last year’s results, we recognize that the past is behind us. Each of our divisions is fully engaged in the new fiscal year, ready to tackle the unique challenges and opportunities it brings. Just as the agriculture industry experiences its cycles, so does our business. However, with a solid balance sheet and strong sales performance across all divisions, we are well positioned to navigate the future and new challenges as they come up.

Thank you for helping to make 2024 a successful year at your cooperative. We rely on your continued support to allow us to invest in the staff and fixed assets needed to help meet your needs while providing a safe and rewarding environment for the employee team. It remains our goal to be the Premier company for our customers and employees. As we look forward to 2025, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of service and excellence that you have come to expect from Premier Cooperative.

Matt Severson

CEO

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.
