Mid-County Coop selects new board member
Jim Dieball of rural Green Isle
was recently welcomed as the newest
board member of Mid-County Coop
in Cologne.
“It should be a good experience,”
said Dieball, who has been a Mid-
County Coop customer since 2000.
Dieball shares a 120-cow dairy farm
with his parents, Karl and Rosemary.
Dieball, his wife Wendy, and two
young daughters all enjoy country liv-
ing. The family grows several acres of
corn, soybeans, and alfalfa each year.
As part of the Mid-County Coop
board, Dieball will have the oppor-
tunity to provide his input regarding
company decisions.
“I’ve never been on a co-op board
before, so it’s going to be a great learn-
ing experience,” Dieball said.
Although this three-year term will
be Dieball’s fi rst time on a co-op
board, he has also been active in his
community through Sibley County’s
Dairy Herd Improvement Association
(DHIA).
Dieball said he is excited to help
Mid-County Coop continue to make
wise, responsible decisions.

“Mid-County Coop provides good
service with very competitive rates,”
Dieball said.
The company was founded in 1935
as a petroleum supplier for Carver
County, but soon began to offer other
products and services, as well. In its 75
years of operation, Mid-County Coop
has experienced signifi cant growth.
Because it’s a cooperative, patrons re-
ceive a portion of their purchases back
in dividend checks each year.
In addition to Dieball, current board
members include Shawn Eastman,
David Williams, Brian Krause, Leon-
ard Hoen Jr., Paul Stuewe, and Tim
Zellmann.
