COVID-19 UPDATE

Friday, March 20, 2020

We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 situation, and in light of Governor Pritzker’s shelter-in-place order, we are implementing additional measures to protect our employees and customers.

Our industry has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security as essential critical infrastructure. Being in agriculture, we are able to continue to operate our business and serve our customers’ needs. However, it is still critically important we implement additional measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers.

The measures we are implementing include: limiting face-to-face contact and interaction between employees and with customers. We are asking customers to please eliminate drop-by visits of any kind. We are asking employees to ensure we are practicing social distancing.

For customers in need of grain payment, MID-CO brokerage services or other grain related services, we can still provide the services your are requiring. If you are in need of a grain payment, we have the capability to ACH payments directly to your bank account or we can mail payments to your household. Additionally, for any other needs or requests, you can always call our facilities to conduct business of any kind over the phone or via email.

Today, we do not have any reported COVID-19 cases in our employee group and only one in our trade territory. We will continue to monitor the situation to keep our employees, families and customers safe and healthy, while also serving the needs of all customers.

Thank you for your patience during this trying time.
