When was the last time you checked the contact information Farmers Electric Cooperative has on file for you? Keeping your mailing address, phone number and service address(es) up to date takes just a few minutes, but it can make a big difference.

One important reason is patronage capital. As a member-owner, you share in the cooperative's financial success. Under Cooperative Principle #3, Members' Economic Participation, margins not needed for operating expenses are allocated to members and may be returned through patronage capital distributions.

Unfortunately, every year, some of that money goes unclaimed because former members have moved or contact information is outdated. We don't want you to miss out on money that's rightfully yours!

Accurate contact information also helps us reach you about planned outages, service interruptions, billing questions and other important cooperative news.

Even if you've moved out of our service territory, it's important to keep your mailing address current. You may still be eligible for future patronage capital payments based on your previous membership.

Take a moment to check your information today. Contact the Farmers Electric Cooperative office to update your records and help ensure you receive the benefits of cooperative membership.
