Full Circle Ag Annual Meeting Recap
The Full Circle Ag annual meeting was a celebration of a positive year for our cooperative, filled with growth, progress, and exciting announcements. Thank you to all our members who attended and continue to make our success possible.
A Positive Year
Reflecting on the past year, Full Circle Ag is proud to share that we experienced strong performance across our divisions. The dedication of our team and the unwavering support of our members allowed us to navigate challenges and deliver value back to the cooperative. Together, we continue to grow and strengthen our position as a Trusted Advisor for our farmers.
Exciting Projects on the Horizon
We are thrilled to announce two major projects that are set up to enhance our operations:
-
Hecla Fertilizer Plant: This facility will expand our capacity and improve service delivery for our members in the Hecla and surrounding areas.
-
Gwinner Receiving Fertilizer Blend Tower: This new inbound receiving & outbound blend tower will bring added convenience and efficiency to our members in the northern part of our trade territory.
Both projects represent our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our members and positioning Full Circle Ag for continued success.
Transportation Division and Rolling Stock Updates
In 2024, we launched our Transportation Division to provide efficient off-farm trucking services, simplifying the process of moving grain from the field to the elevator. By investing in this service, we aim to save our customers time and money, not only during harvest season, but all year round. We are also continuously improving and updating our rolling stock throughout the entire cooperative.
Patronage Distribution
As part of our cooperative model, we are pleased to announce that patronage distributions will be sent out this month! This distribution reflects our commitment to returning value to our member-owners and recognizing the vital role you play in our success.
Honoring Dave Van Scharrel
This year, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Dave Van Scharrel, who retired after an incredible 32 years of service on our board. Dave’s dedication and leadership have been instrumental in guiding Full Circle Ag through decades of growth and change. We thank him for his countless contributions and wish him all the best in his retirement.
Welcoming New Leadership
We are excited to welcome Brandon Decker as the newest addition to the board. His fresh perspective and enthusiasm will undoubtedly bring new ideas to the table. Additionally, we are excited to share the news that Miles Mendel has taken on the role of our new Board President. We are grateful for Miles and look forward to what the future holds for our cooperative.
Looking Ahead
As we move into the next year, we remain committed to our mission of delivering exceptional service and value to our members. Thank you for being an integral part of Full Circle Ag’s journey. Here’s to another year of growth and success!
