Harvest Update Nov 5
Ursa Farmers will be going back to working Monday thru Friday and closing on Saturday's beginning Saturday November 20th. I would expect the Ferry Boat to start operating winter hours which are the same as UFC very soon.
I would like to thank all the locations and employees for the outstanding job they did during this harvest. In all the years I have worked for UFC this is the first I never heard "ONE" complaint from a member about a concern they had during harvest. Although many might think this was an easy harvest it was not. As we entered harvest our elevators were nearly filled with damaged grain we purchased from our members this summer as a result of last year's poor quality grain. Then the challenges put before us with the explosion at Warsaw, that was intense to say the least. The determination of the Warsaw employees is just remarkable, we were back operating within 24 hours of the event and how about the employee. He was burnt, knocked down from the explosion and nearly broke an arm but was back to work within a couple days. just another story of the many we could mention about this company and our team.
The OSHA inspector and the safety director for the state of Illinois both praised Truman and the employees of Warsaw for the outstanding safety procedures they abide by. Nothing was found in error to cause that explosion, it just occurred. All the repair have been complete and we move on.
Thank you to everyone and enjoy the Holidays.
