PROJECTS AND IMPROVEMENTS ACROSS OUR LOCATIONS
St. James Feed Mill CFS built a new state of the art feed mill in St. James and removed the old mill.
CELEBRATING A SUCCESSFUL YEAR AND EMBRACING NEW CHALLENGES August 31st, 2024 marked the end of another fiscal year for CFS. I am happy to report that we had another strong year for our cooperative. This success is due to our great members, customers, and employees. We recognize that our achievements are only possible with your support and patronage. Thank you for helping make 2024 another very successful year in the history of our cooperative. As we look ahead to the new fiscal year, we are already a month in and recognize the challenges that exist. Whether it is input costs, livestock, or grain prices, CFS remains focused on helping our customers balance risks while maximizing profitability on the farm. This can only happen by working together and always communicating. Transparency and trust have never been more important for your and our operations. I guarantee that our team is dedicated to serving your needs each day! Over the past year, we worked on many projects at multiple locations. We were also busy with several demolition projects across our footprint. Major projects include finishing the grain bin in Randolph, the feed mill in St. James, and the chemical and seed storage in Clarks Grove. These projects have been completed to help improve efficiency at our locations. As we are now in October, we have plenty of reasons to celebrate National Cooperative Month. Conducting business with a cooperative is different than with a private or corporate business. In doing business with a cooperative, profits are returned to the members whether in equity, cash, or facilities. All of these positively impact our members and customers, and we are proud to participate in the ag industry. Thank you for your continued support of CFS. Your business is truly appreciated, and we are extremely grateful for your confidence in us. We will do our part to meet or exceed your expectations every time! I would also like to thank the dedicated CFS employees for what they do each and every day! They are second to none. Our success would not be possible without everyone working together! Finally, please be safe during this harvest season. Take a few extra minutes to work safely in your fields and at home. Safety is always well worth the time. Wishing you all the best with your harvest and the year ahead.
