Hello.
Join me while I tell you about the GROWMARK System.
The strength of the GROWMARK System,
we're not simply a collection of agribusinesses.
The value of the GROWMARK System
and the value we deliver to our customers
comes from our people,
people who are trusted advisers,
people who are family,
people who are taking care.
♪
These are the people who set the standard
for how we do business.
We're a cooperative
providing agricultural products and services
to more than 250,000 members and customers.
The people of the GROWMARK System
are committed to making our agricultural cooperative system
the best in North America,
and to fulfill our mission:
to improve the long-term profitability
of our member-owners.
Each co-op partners with local farmers
to improve productivity
and offer premium products and services.
♪
The relationships we have with our members and partners
help control costs and improve local economies.
We are a system that has grown beyond our Midwestern roots
to support cooperatives and businesses
in more than 40 states and Canada.
>From SEEDWAY and GROWMARK FS in the east
to growing markets for our Energy Division
in western states.
Those who do business with GROWMARK count on us
for quality products, dependable service,
advanced technology, and trusted advice.
We provide not just the brands they know and trust,
but also the means to deliver and store those products.
This wide-ranging support comes
from the teamwork of professionals
in the specialized divisions of GROWMARK.
The Energy Division, which represents
a large percentage of GROWMARK's sales,
offers a complete line of refined and renewable fuels,
including diesel fuel and gasoline.
We own a lubricants manufacturing facility
located in Council Bluffs, Iowa,
where we blend and market lubricant products to customers.
We also market and supply propane,
and we have a retail fuel network as well.
The division continues to grow year over year
as we look to optimize everything we do for customers
and we look at strategic acquisitions,
all focused on the customer to save time and save resources.
STAR Energy FS,
a subsidiary of GROWMARK in Northwestern Iowa,
delivers a complete line of refined and renewable fuels,
propane, and lubricants.
In Ontario, Canada,
we are growing our petroleum business
with the acquisition of remaining shares
of UPI Energy.
GROWMARK's Council Bluffs lubricant manufacturing facility
is state-of-the-art with an extensive lab
for testing and measuring the effectiveness
and durability of our lubes.

from family farms to school and municipal fleets.
The Agronomy division offers industry-leading seed genetics
through our FS InVISION and FS HiSOY brands.
We also offer system supported brands
DEKALB, Asgrow, NK, and W-L Alfalfa.
We support those brands through our nutrient management
and pest management services and products
to make our system the best in the industry.

can utilize the trusted risk management tools and products
that are offered through MID-CO COMMODITIES

A partnership with COFCO International Limited
adds international grain trading and greater market access
to GROWMARK's portfolio of services.
The GROWMARK System and its people
are greater than the sum of its parts.
Its interconnecting divisions work together
to create more value for our member-owners.
Our Commercial Construction division

Our experts work with customers
to design grain drying, handling, and storage systems
that exceed our customers' expectations.
GROWMARK's Logistics division moves products
to members' cooperatives and their customers
through strategically placed distribution centers
in Illinois, Ohio, and Ontario.
Four locations offer more than 120,000 square feet of storage

The addition of Manito Transit to our portfolio of services
allows us to meet a growing need
for safe handling and dedicated transport

of innovative services and products.

At the heart of the GROWMARK System
are over 7,500 employees

have built a community.
A company that's large enough
to provide exceptional career opportunities
but still offers a family-oriented
working environment.
We are a company whose people are committed
to serving not just our customers,
but our communities and the environment too.
Every year, our employees, co-op members, and partners
volunteer thousands of hours of their time
