I am your new Benson Corn Pool chairman, Dave Nagler. I took over as chairman this past year replacing Roger Longhenry, who retired from the board this past January. I would like to thank Roger for his many years of service to the Benson Corn Pool. Roger was one of the original board members and his dedication to the board & members of the pool was exemplary.
A little bit about myself for those who don’t know me. I have served on the corn pool board when Bill Lee was your manager. Our meetings were held at Detoys because we didn’t have an office that would accommodate more than 5 people. I have been a shareholder since CVEC’s beginning and served on the CVAC Board of Directors for nine years. I am from north of Danvers with my wife Jocile and four children: Michael – 23, Blake – 20, Ariana – 19, and Sophia -13.
As we stand today our preliminary audit has been completed. This past fiscal year the corn pool had 11,988,000 signed up for purchases under the leadership of our management team of Patty and Brody. We were able to purchase those bushels at a cost of $0.14/bushel. Fiscal year 2025 the BCP will be purchasing 11,883,000 bushels for CVEC. At our annual meeting in January we will be electing one director. Dave Strand will be the incumbent. If you have any interest in serving on the board please contact the office. I hope to see you all at the annual meeting January 21, 2025 at 3pm following the CVAC annual meeting.
