From Jeff Krejdl's Desk As we continue to navigate the uncertainty and volatility in the commodity markets, we realize that it cannot be business as usual at Ag Valley Co-op.
We need to make sure that
your Cooperative is here to help you work through those challenges.
As I look at Ag Valley
Co-op, I know that we need to continue to evaluate our daily tasks and procedures and look for those efficiencies that will bring profitability to our business. We must be diligent in controlling our expenses. We need to continually look for ways to add value to your farming operations, and we must find ways to be relevant to you and the marketplace that we operate in. If the employees of Ag Valley come to work every day with those goals in mind, we can all look forward to a successful future.
By the time you receive this, wheat harvest probably will have started in parts of our trade territory.
Last fall, we had several injuries to our employees attributable to traps that had
not been adequately maintained.
I would ask that you please check the traps on your
trailers and if they need maintenance or need to be rebuilt, please consider getting that done.
Please keep in mind that it may open fine when the hopper is empty, but it may be
tough to open when that trap gets a load on it. asset.
Our employees are our most important
If they are injured and cannot perform their duties, our ability to provide you the
quality service you desire and deserve becomes compromised. Thank you for your help!
At the June board meeting, your Board of Directors voted to redeem the deferred equities of our patrons born in 1943.
This vote and the ability for us to redeem those equities
represent substantial progress in the health and stability of your Cooperative.
We will be
sending those checks out in the next couple of weeks and are extremely pleased to do so. They represent years of support and loyalty to Ag Valley Coop. Thank you for your business!
As always, I want to thank you for your business and continued support of Ag Valley Co-op. We know that you have options for your agricultural needs, and we will work hard every day to continue to earn your business.
Thank you!
Jeff Krejdl
