CFS Foundations donates funds for Grain Bin Rescue Equipment to Minnesota Lake Fire Department.
Yesterday, a small group from CFS met up with the Minnesota Lake Fire Chief to deliver funds that were requested to help purchase grain bin rescue equipment that will benefit the Minnesota Lake community and several neighboring communities.
“As a cooperative business, CFS is committed to our communities and appreciates the volunteers that serve on our local fire and rescue departments,” says Jeff Eckhardt, CFS Board Director. “This contribution was made in an effort to ensure our fire and rescue departments are equipped to handle any emergency that may arise, including grain entrapment and rescue.”

Join the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota on June 1 for Ag Education
Day. Ag is so relevant in our region, but many children only “see” it from a bus window. This FREE
Museum day gives a hands-on opportunity to explore, learn, and ask questions about the importance
of agriculture in our everyday life. Teaching children about agriculture at a young age can help
them start recognizing how it impacts the world around them and can help them learn other important
aspects about life.

With that, we gave up yesterday’s gains on old crop and put in some new lows on December corn.
