Defiance Fertilizer Building Update

 

     Stueve Construction is nearing completion of the headhouse sections of the roof. If the weather cooperates work will continue on the rafter beams and roof sections. Once that is complete, we will start to see the shingles on the roof.

     Wachtler has just installed the top tank section of the tower system. The leg will be installed once completion of the roof is done. There will be anchor guide wires from the leg attached to the building to keep it from swaying in high winds.

      Electrical work continues to progress with Venteicher Electric. The control panels are being installed and the offices are being wired to handle the computers and other electrical equipment.

FSC GRAIN TO OFFER
NEW MARKETING OPTION

 

The FSC Grain Division is offering a new grain marketing option for growers in the Harlan area.  The new option is a Priced Later Contract, also called Delayed Price.  This contract allows the grower to deliver grain to FSC and not price the grain until a later date.  This is a win-win for the grower and for FSC; as the farmer does not need to worry about storage or keeping the grain in condition and FSC has a supply of grain to use when needed.  It also offers a high degree of price flexibility for an extended period of time for the grower.  Service charge may apply and the details are listed below.  Call Todd at the Harlan elevator (800-422-0519) to take advantage of this program.

· Zero service/storage charge until 8/23/12

· Corn will be shrunk to 15%

· Title of grain passes to elevator upon delivery

· Grain must be priced no later than noon on 8/23/12 or can be rolled into another price later contract with a service charge. If not priced by noon on 8/23/12 corn or beans will be priced.

· Price Later contracts must be signed before settlement can be made.

 


 

FSC Energy Division Recognized

for Growth in Lubricants
 

The FSC Energy Division has won the Cenex Energy Summit 2011 Lubricant Award.  This award is given to one energy company per year.  The award recognizes a company that shows a commitment to sales and marketing, growth in gallons, and profitability.

In the past 5 years, FSC has grown to become Cenex’s 13th largest customer.  This growth has been attributed to three efforts; strong sales and marketing, upgraded storage and delivery, and outstanding personnel. 
 

Along with the award, Cenex created a documentary highlighting the FSC lubricant division.
