Growing and Improving
We have a lot of new faces at
Mid-County and we have been
fortunate to acquire some very
top notch talent to operate the
departments of Mid-County.
Auto, Truck and Tire
In late August, Don Harmsen
took the position as Service
Manager. The previous man-
ager, Jim Jochum, was given
an opportunity to return to the
telecommunications industry.
Don comes with several years
of experience from owning his
own shop as well as working for
a large dealership.
Petroleum
Under the leadership of
Quay Zander, he and his team
have continued to expand our
lubricants lines of engine oils,
greases, etc. to service tractors,
construction equipment, manu-
facturing equipment, and ATV’s.
Along with the Cenex line, we
also offer Mobil products.
Agronomy
This is the area where we
have invested the most in the
past year. We have hired several
people to offer the high level
of service that is needed to be
competitive. Dave Eckhoff
has been with us for about 6

months and has been focusing
his staff to improve and prepare
our equipment so it is ready
to hit the fields in a moment’s
notice. We have doubled our
expenditures this past year fix-
ing and repairing our fleet. We
are also adding some equipment
to stay ahead of the increased
demand for fertilizer. We have
finally finished our equipment
storage building, and now our
valuable agronomy equipment,
fuel trucks and propane trucks
can stay under cover year-round.
We feel the agronomy division
is planted and growing on solid
ground.
C-Store
Store Manager Del Gallup
Controller
and her group continue to offer
top notch customer service.
With one year under our belt
operating the car wash, we are
planning to improve the image
and visibility of the car wash to
make it look consistent with our
C-Store. There is a new color
scheme and image coming from
Cenex that will also freshen up
the appearance of the store in
the next year.
Office
Our Controller Dick Pauly
has been improving our internal
accounting systems to ensure we
are on track with our goals. Soon
we will be enhancing our web-
site www.midcountycoop.com;
currently you can view your
account balance, get a year-end
statement, or check your stock
balance in the company. We are
also going to be improving the
whole site to be more current
with happenings and specials
being offered throughout the
company. We will also be test-
ing the possibility to offer some
product prices on the website.
As always, I appreciate your
calls and comments on how
we can make your Coop bet-
ter. Serving you with Honesty,
Integrity and Value!
