September marks the official start of the ninth annual I Believe in the Future of Ag fundraising campaign. This campaign serves as an outlet for local FFA chapters to receive donations for innovative projects in their classrooms, leadership programming, community service projects and field trips to advance agriculture education in their schools.
Unification of the two Cooperatives Effective this September
Matt Rezac, a fourth-generation corn and soybean farmer from Weston, Nebraska, said today in testimony to the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee that farmers’ commitment to future generations, paired with their willingness to embrace new technology, positions them to lead on climate solutions.
Following a four-week voting period, Frontier Cooperative and Midwest Farmers Cooperative members approved the unification of their cooperatives. The unification of the two cooperatives will be effective September 1, 2019.
Here are some of the initial steps that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends to jump-start the recovery process for those affected by the recent flooding.
Our number one goal in this business is safety. Profitability and success mean nothing if you’re not here to reap their benefits.
What started as a reason to get out of the house at the end of a long winter has turned into a major benefit event for Nebraska flood relief. In early March, as the seemingly unending snow was piling up, the newly renovated Starlite Event Center planned a “Spring Fever” concert featuring two local bands—Bucka Ruse from Yutan, and Sack of Lions from Council Bluffs.
This week, the Boards of Directors for Frontier Cooperative and Midwest Farmers Cooperative voted to sign a definitive agreement. Signing the definitive agreement means the Boards approved moving forward with a member vote to unify the two cooperatives. This decision came after completing due diligence during which employee teams evaluated the benefits and risks of this unification.
