Dear Customer Owners,
Happy May! I hope this email finds you all doing well and getting into the full swing of Spring farm and ranch activities. I believe much of our territory has experienced heavy winds over these past few weeks and I sincerely hope we see that subside and we will be hoping for ample moisture as your crops and pastures grow this year.
Mailing Scam
We wanted to bring awareness to a recent mailing scam to ensure you all stay safe with your personal information. It was brought to our attention that an unidentified company is attempting to gain personal information and access to customer-owners addresses with the intent to be deceitful and destructive. We encourage all of you to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity via email or snail mail and never provide your info to anyone you aren’t 100% sure is a real, secure source you trust. If you have encountered such an attempt in the last month, please take the proper corrective actions to ensure nothing critical was compromised.

Congratulations to all 30 of our scholarship winners this year!

Board Elections
May is Board Elections month! Voting for our next Board of Directors is an opportunity for you to help shape the future of the FCSC cooperative. The voice of our future starts and ends with you. Voting began May 7 and ends on May 31, so take a moment to learn more about your candidates on our AMIS page on the website. To vote, ballots will be mailed out to our existing customer-owners this week, but this year, we will also be offering an online voting option. To vote online, you must locate your unique member code and election passcode, which we will send you by email and direct mail. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or issues while voting.
Crop-Hail Season
As we welcome Springtime here in beautiful Colorado, we residents know what lurks around the corner: Hail Season. Ensure your crops are fully protected this year so you can focus on your business and let us handle the insurance. Hailstorms here are always unpredictable, so ensure you’re covered before any damage begins. Give Bobby Fisher a call for assistance.
Insurance Division Addition
Speaking of insurance, we would like to formally introduce you to our newest Insurance Division’s addition, Trista Gruntmeir! Trista joins us with 14+ years of experience and a drive like you’ve never seen before. She will be working right next to Bobby Fisher at our Burlington office, specializing in Livestock Risk Protection and crop-hail insurance, so please give her a warm welcome to the family!
