Cooperative Spirit at Fall Delegate Meetings

Even though recent floods provided plenty of farming and transportation challenges to producers at the Fall Delegate Meeting series, strong attendance was observed at most gatherings. These meetings give an opportunity to those cooperative members to provide feedback about the company’s products and services as well as get the latest financial standings and other updates about the company.

This year, many topics where discussed including a spirited discussion about bylaw changes that could effect potential leadership roles. Along with this, financial records were shared that detailed Accelerated Genetics record-setting pace of growth and a presentation of the recently completed semen processing lab, semen distribution warehouse, and sire barn facilities was shown.

A special thank you goes out to those who attended and understand the value of the cooperative. Accelerated Genetics is very proud to host these meetings and excited to gather input from those who make up a cooperative, the members and it’s producers.       

For more information about the Fall Delegate Meetings,
please contact Janet Keller, 1-800-451-9275 ext. 224.
