Meet, Greet, and Have Lunch
ROLAND, IA – May, 10, 2008
 Specialty Fertilizer Products is sponsoring the NASCAR entry of Peyton Sellers, car #44, in the upcoming U.S. Cellular 200 at the Iowa Speedway. They have selected Heart of Iowa Coop, who is a dealer for their products, as the place for a "Meet and Greet" autograph session for their car and driver. This coming Friday, May 16th, from 11:00-1:00, the car and driver will be on hand at the Cenex Bulk Plant and Cardtrol site next to our Nevada grain and fertilizer complex. Members and customers are invited to stop by, meet twenty-two year old Virginia driver Peyton Sellers, and enjoy lunch catered by Hickory Park from 11:30-1:00. If producers are in the fields planting crops, we plan to have some carryout sandwiches available. Peyton is driving this season in the NASCAR Camping World East/West Series as he climbs the ladder toward NASCAR'S premier racing divisions. This event is a kick-off to Sunday's race at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, which will go green at 4:00. Specialty Fertilizer Products will conduct a drawing at Friday's Meet and Greet Session to give away four VIP tickets to Sunday's race. The VIP tickets will include seating in the SFP Hospitality area, lunch at 1:00, and VIP parking at Iowa Speedway. Stop by Friday if you have time!
September Diesel Contract Offered
ROLAND, IA – April, 30, 2008
Energy Department Manager Mark Britten is offering a September diesel contract for anyone wishing to lock in some gallons for a pre-harvest fill up. This contract is effective only for fuel delivered after September 1st, and delivery must be completed by September 30th. With this year's late planting season, it is not likely that much or any harvest may be underway by September 30th, so a pre-harvest fill may be the best way to view this contract. October or November contracts for diesel fuel will likely be available soon for harvest season fuel needs. Check with Mark Britten, Mark Larsen, or Kris Johnson for pricing or more information. At this point, it is anyone's guess as to what will be an attractive price by the time harvest season arrives. We will be happy to help you lock in some prices for the time frame you want, whenever you decide the time is right to "pull the trigger".
