As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Policy: the company was active in achieving their goal of influencing public policy for the benefit of their 2,900 members in the county. The board of directors generated an opinionnaire in april to distribute to all members, so they have the opportunity voice their opinions on issues that are important to their members on the local, state and national level. These were distributed via email and u.s. Mail. The results were tabulated and policy was approved by members at their policy development meeting in june. These policies are then provided and reviewed at the company's annual member appreciation meal and social gathering in august, which attracts 135 people.
Ag promotion: the company promoted agriculture to members and the general public in various ways. The company purchased print, outdoor and radio advertising throughout the year that promote livestock and row crop production as well as advocating for agriculture to the 102,000 residents of the county. The company hosts an appreciation meal and social gathering in august for all 2,900 members, with 135 attending. The company also hosts a media appreciation activity where directors deliver meat and cheese trays to over 10 area media outlets that employ over 200 people. The company also promotes agriculture through activities it does and sponsors during the county fair in august, reaching the 80,000 attendees.
Ag education: the company is a strong supporter of agriculture education to people of all ages, but in particular, elementary school students in the county. The company provides materials and a full-time ag in the classroom coordinator to lead in-person educational sessions in 16 schools in the county, reaching 1,600, 2nd and 4th grade students on a monthly basis, september through may.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $535k to $1.6M (+191%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
