• All beans that are on free storage must be priced by October 1, 2010.  We will no longer be offering free storage on beans dumped after the 31 of August.
• As of the close of business on Aug 27, we will not longer be taking corn for storage.  All corn must be contract or sold at the time of dumping.  Once we get into new crop we will start storing corn again.
• Prairie Lakes Coop will be rejecting wheat at this time that is over a half percent ergot.  We will try and handle it at a later time when we can have space available to keep it seperate.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.
• Spring and Winter Wheat:  Due to our limited space,  Prairie Lakes Coop will not be storing spring wheat or dumping winter wheat this harvest.  We will be dumping cash or contract spring wheat only. Please contact either Dan or Tim with further questions.  Thank you for your continued grain business.
