Tim Newcomb said this as part of his closing comments “Unless you have Christ at the center of your life - none of this stuff matters.” So give me a moment to underline that point - minus Him none of this stuff, none of these things, are worth it. So very thankful for Him.

Two big things that make me cheer on the inside as Leadership team visits with us today. 1) They talked about Red Crown Rot (the exact right tone & addressing the risk head on). 2) A caution from Scott Beck to watch out for our neighbor.

Todd Roberts talking Commitment Rewards. Love this program - customers get yield & stretch their working capital even further. 90% of Beck’s acres are committed to this program and better than 94% sign back up. Getting a dollar to stretch - not a small deal going into ‘26.

Rookie of the Year Award. Lots of fun to see my friends at Farm Trust receive the award for central. Well deserved, so well deserved. They have amazing volume, but they also nail the real idea behind the award - they serve and care about their customers. They are family to them.
