Fall harvest is wrapping up very quickly. As each day goes by, we have someone finishing. Thanks to you for support and congratulations on what seems to be better than average yields. The final numbers of bushels brought in has not been determined yet, but we will share them when it gets completed. Prior to harvest the employees moved 7,341.892 bushels over a period of 52.5 days, an average of 138,846 per day. Include the 1.5 million bushels of new storage and we began harvest with 11,586,228 of storage available. The most we have had in years. As you can tell, the employees have spent several days prior to harvest and have clocked in several more hours during harvest to make harvest work smooth for our customers. THANKS to the employee as they continue to finish up and start making room to what seems to be a promising 2010 wheat harvest so far.

Seed Department
DC COOP and Crustbuster/Speedking
Two long time companies team up to produce a quality seed bin. You may have heard the ads on the radio by now, but your cooperative has teamed up with a Crustbuster/Speedking to be an exclusive seller of seed bins in our trade territory. With their expertise in manufacturing, and our input of seed storage, I believe it will be a great opportunity for our customers to purchase a quality bin that is competitively priced. For more information, contact Mike Konda at the main office or email him at mkonda@dodgecitycoop.com
Light snow will cover the Southern Plains through western and northern Midwest Monday. We may also see some freezing precipitation in the Southern Plains. » More DTN Weather Commentary
