We’re delighted to announce we’ll be mailing $3.75 million in Cash Patronage Dividend checks to our member-owners in March!
“I’m pleased we are able to give a substantial cash patronage dividend back to our member-owners, as well as maintain a solid financial position,” said Mike Grauberger, President and CEO. “Returning a portion of our profits to our members is always meaningful, but it’s especially so in light of the challenging agricultural economy.”
2018 is the twenty-first consecutive year Premier Farm Credit will deliver a Cash Patronage Dividend to our member-owners, bringing the total returned during that time to nearly $54 million. We take pride in knowing that our customers are mostly local agricultural producers that conduct a majority of their business in the communities of Northeast Colorado.
“The Board of Directors is excited to provide another strong patronage dividend back to our fellow member-owners. It illustrates the value of the cooperative model, where the people doing business with Premier Farm Credit are the ones benefiting from its success,” said Wayne Midcap, Board Chairman. “As Chairman, I speak on behalf of the entire board when I say we are totally committed to returning a meaningful patronage dividend each year, while maintaining the financial health of the association.”
