Congratulations to Larry Schweiss the recipient of the December 2021 Cream of the Crop Award!
Dec 06, 2021
Larry has just recently surpassed 20 years of service with the CFS team working mostly at the Welcome location. Larry is an extremely valuable and versatile employee, working primarily in grain operations but also taking the lead in the N&W liquid fertilizer operations each spring. After the retirement of long-time manager Gary Franks, Larry has really stepped up to fill the gap and can always be counted on when it’s crunch time, whether loading a weekend train or meeting the needs of our fertilizer customers. As a volunteer fireman Larry is also a great asset to the Welcome community and the strong brand of CFS employees serving their local communities. Thanks, Larry for all you do, you are truly the “Cream of the Crop”!

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.

Highlights as of 5/16:
Corn:
Planting and weather conditions are the name of the game currently. With planting progress looking very favorable and the weather forecast showing above normal temps and below normal precipitation for much of the corn belt all signs point to very good planting conditions. With that, we gave up yesterday’s gains on old crop and put in some new lows on December corn.
