Message to Shareholders from Dave Roche:
This week Minn-Dak received final approval from the USDA regarding our purchase of certain assets from Wyoming Sugar Company and our subsequent sale of assets to Wyoming Sugar Growers, LLC, both of Worland Wyoming.
As reported to you earlier, the net result of these transactions is an increase in Minn-Dak’s permanent beet sugar allocation for 2009 and later crop years. Additional allocation for the 2009 crop totals approximately 500,000 cwt. and the addition of permanent allocation in future years will provide an improved foundation for the marketing of your sugar products.
October 31: Wanted up to 1,200 acres within five miles of Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative for winter application of high-nutrient solids from ponds. The land must be at least two miles from any municipality. $75/acre. Contact Pete Jensen at (701) 671-1376 or by email at pjensen@mdf.coop.
The following is from Dr. Jeff Carlson, VP of Operations:
Agricultural Lime from Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative Farmers and businesses can pick up agricultural lime from Minn-Dak farmers cooperative. There is no cost for the lime but starting August 1, 2009 there will be a $1.00 per ton handling/loading fee. Anyone wanting to obtain lime must first fill out an Agricultural Lime Procurement Form (ALP), which can be obtained by contacting Pete Jensen ((701) 671-1376), Ron Ehlert ((701) 671-1382) or the Factory Office ((701) 671-1338).
This form along with Minn-Dak’s current Agricultural Liming Material Label and a typical nutrient/trace element analysis will be sent back. Once the ALP Form has been filled out and returned a farmer or business can pick up the lime. The ALP form is kept on file so if a farmer or business has picked up lime in previous years it is not necessary to fill out another form.
Please contact Ron Ehlert or the Factory office for loading locations and times. Typical summer hours for loading will be from 7:00 am until 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. Saturday loading may be initiated if warranted. Weather events will interrupt loading so be sure to call before coming.

Everyone,
Attached is a revised (December 15, 2006) worksheet I
put together this afternoon in response to requests from growers on what
a reasonable crop share percentage is.
