The staff and board of Farmers Electric Cooperative wish to thank all our members who attended our 85th Annual Meeting Sept. 24.

About 180 people attended to hear reports from leadership on co-op finances, operations and community activities, and to take part in the democratic process of their electric cooperatives. (Pictured above: Delaney Blomme and Bailey Carstens speak about their experiences during this year's Youth Tour trip.)

During the meeting, ballots to elect directors were counted with the results as follows:
East District: RoxAnn Rhoads, incumbent
West District: Kevin Stender, incumbent
Central District: Mark Earhart, incumbent

This year, the co-op recognized these employees for their years of service to Farmers Electric: Lineman/Staking Technician Paul Paxton, 30 years; Line Foreman Paul Weber, 30 years; and Line Foreman Nick Kintigh, 25 years. Save the date for our next annual meeting Sept. 16, 2025!
