Your board has already voted to retire year 2001 book credits of $899,595. This should be paid by the end of October. Many producers took advantage of our United Ag rewards program. This program pays cash back to producers that patronize different phases of our agronomy division. Ask any of our agronomists how you can take advantage of these dollars. Many producers who patronize our agronomy division can take advantage of the Winfield Solutions Emerald Extras program. This program allows producers to earn gifts and trips. This year, eight of our producers earned all-expenses paid trips to Hawaii or Canadian fishing trips, plus many other gifts. Contact our agronomists to get your name on the list. Your cooperative offers you so many ways to add cash back to your operations. I hope everyone has a great cotton harvest and good health. Sincerely, Jimmy Roppolo Insurance decisions made by farmers and ranchers can have a huge impact on their bottom line. Knowing options preserves the greatest chance for financial gain. Applying for grazing, hay or commodity insurance is more than just signing a prefilled application. Don’t you owe it to yourself to know all of your options? Taking risk management from behind the desk, I’m here to bring those options to you. My goal is to make every dollar count! Call today for more information. patronage pays off Always a highlight of our annual meeting is the election of directors.
