Your Golden Growers Board has determined that it is necessary to build a reserve during the course of this lease.  The Cooperative evaluated revenue and cash flows for the current year through the end of the new lease, including the potential for reduced distributions from ProGold LLC due to payments ProGold must make for infrastructure maintenance and certain capital improvements under the lease. The Cooperative also considered its potential purchase and payment obligations under the Consent Agreement dated April 4, 2017.

The distribution authorized by the Board will result in a remaining equity credit balance for 2016 of $813,738 or $0.0525 per bushel delivered in 2016.
