FC Hosts Iowa Central Community College Students

On April 15, 2014, we hosted 15 students and their instructor from Iowa Central Community College at our Farnhamville location.   

Kathy Carlson and Tyler Farnham started the morning by showed them a brief presentation on FC and our history. They shared facts about the company, and tips on pursuing a career.  The ICCC group were then given a tour of the Farnhamville location.  The students were able to see the behind the scenes of the grain and agronomy departments and what makes a co-op function.  Along the tour they were also able to go inside the new fertilizer shed and see the technology that’s being utilized in today’s operations.  They wrapped up the tour with being given a new FC hat and all took a minute to pose for a class photo in front of their bus!

Thank you to ICCC for spending the morning with us, we enjoyed having you!

Farmers Cooperative Company (Ames, Iowa), recently donated grain rescue tubes to the Aredale Fire Department. 

In addition to donating the rescue tubes FC led a safety training session to ensure that the firefighters, who usually are the first responders if an engulfment were to occur in the area, knew how to properly use the rescue tubes in the event of an emergency. 

We appreciate the opportunity to help and to work with our community firefighters, safety officers and first responders. Together We Can help ensure the next generation of farmers are here to feed the world.
