2019 MKC ANNUAL REPORT
Perseverance is the story of agriculture. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Perseverance is not about what you have come through or what lies ahead of you, but what is in you.� When we look at the membership of MKC, we see first generation farmers and ranchers and multi-generation operations, traditional and unconventional, local and global growers, farmers and ranchers who produce grains, cotton, beef, pork, lamb, dairy, and forage crops. We have agri-tourism and agribusiness, teachers, community leaders and volunteers, city councilmen, environmental consultants, bankers and homemakers. Despite our many blessings, farmers and ranchers are no strangers to the storms of life, both literal and figurative. Late freezes, extended droughts, pest pressure and excessive rains are a fact of life for all of agriculture. There is no argument that weather is the one component of agriculture that can never truly be managed or predicted. Our farmers will persevere. They will not give up. They will overcome. They will withstand the storms and persist. They will not stop. They will sustain the course and continue their mission. Research has backed much of the claims that it is the day in and day out efforts that pay off in the long run. The little day-to-day challenges and obstacles we encounter can be overcome. Driven from the inner motivation that fuels the person or group, it is the perseverance and determination that keep all of us focused on the goal. SHARED GROWTH. SHARED SUCCESS.

dispatch custom application management system, the purchase of our own facility demolition equipment, the construction of our cover crop seed plant, the creation of A+ Aviation, and many more “little things” that mostly fly below the radar. All of these improvements to our business are made on your behalf. Whether they help drive costs out of your business, improve productivity, or position our company to help you deal with the challenges you face today, each of them is done with your success in mind. We track success through annual surveys and a metric system to determine if we are hitting the mark. Our customer satisfaction score of 84%, customer retention of 96%, and more than 200 new members are clear indicators that we are moving in the right direction. Our regrettable employee turnover of 9% and our overall employee satisfaction score of 96% are metrics we utilize to measure our success year over year. Keeping track of our financials is important, but they do not necessarily paint the entire picture of future health. It is simply not that easy. Many of the companies we compete with daily have selected a different path. When companies choose to not invest in the development of facilities, equipment or innovation of technology, employees will leave and customers will find a new place to do business. The key is to focus on helping our customers be more successful and ultimately improving the customers’ bottom line. We help you plan field by field, providing expertise in marketing, insurance, energy, agronomy and feed. We help develop plans specific to your operation. At MKC, we believe the investments we make today, impact earnings over the long haul and position the cooperative to make a difference in your operation. Like any enterprise that has no retirement date, MKC makes many decisions daily of which the impact of will not be felt until well into the future.
Therefore, our focus has to remain on the horizon and we have to live the “Shared growth. Shared success.” mantra every single day. By doing so, we will continue to establish our culture and be in the best position to serve our member-owners for decades to come. The market will continue to change rapidly; however, we have to remain stubborn on the achievement of our strategic intent to grow. If we continue, we will provide you with a member-owned business that is relevant in the marketplace and valuable to your operation, today and well into the future. Thank you for partnering with us as we work to build future success. Sincerely,
Allan Wegner Chairman Board of Directors

Elected by their peers, these individuals collectively leverage their expertise to provide important direction, and ensure the safety and soundness of the finances of the cooperative. Board members are farmers and ranchers themselves and have a deep understanding of the challenges their fellow member-owners face each day. The Board of Directors consists of 11 members. Three directors represent a district, six directors are at-large, and two directors are appointed. Detailed biographical information on the MKC Board of Directors is available at www.mkcoop.com. As a result of the merger with Plains Equity Exchange and Cooperative Union effective June 1, 2019, two additional directors were added to the MKC Board of Directors from that region. John Borth and J. Daniel Eakes were appointed to serve on the Board.

A YEAR IN REVIEW
CENTRAL DISPATCH LEADS TO EFFICIENCY A new operations and customer efficiency system was adopted in March 2018 called Central Dispatch. This has allowed MKC to be more efficient with farm deliveries and custom application of crop nutrients. The process for the program took nearly two years to complete and required several different departments including IT, operations and sales. “The goal of the program was to find a way to utilize all equipment companywide for the busy times,” said Ryan Sears, truck dispatch manager for MKC. “Historically, we have locations that are very busy at one time and other locations that might not be as busy with orders. We have always done our best to share equipment with other locations, but sometimes we were either too late or it didn’t make sense to send someone far for only a small portion of work. The Central Dispatch system allows us to plan for the work load for certain areas.” Central Dispatch allows MKC an opportunity to increase efficiencies by pulling all location resources together to better serve customers.

MKC JOINS 20 STUDENTS COMMODITAG AS RETAIL AWARDED $1,000 PARTNER SCHOLARSHIP CommoditAg, an online ordering and purchasing option for farmers, comprised of a powerhouse of ag retailers, expanded its footprint to Kansas by the joining of MKC. Farmers in Kansas benefit from the CommoditAg experience which starts with an easy to use online platform where farmers can purchase inputs online with either a credit card or e-check, and have products delivered directly to their farm or pick up at CommoditAg warehouses in Kansas. “We were drawn to CommoditAg’s business model, digitally putting farmers’ convenience and peace of mind first. We have the necessary infrastructure and logistics capabilities, supplier relationships, and agronomic expertise to provide the online experience farmers expect,” said Dave Spears, executive vice president and CMO for MKC. Unlike other e-commerce platforms, CommoditAg does not require a membership fee. On www. CommoditAg.com farmers can browse farm input products and view its transparent pricing.
MKC selected ten high school seniors and ten college students to receive a $1,000 scholarship for the 2018-2019 academic year in the MKC Scholarship Program. Since 2008, a total of $124,000 has been awarded through the Scholarship Program. “The MKC Scholarship Program is one way the cooperative can help support exceptional students who someday soon will enter the workforce to make a difference in the industry and communities where their career paths take them,” said Dave Christiansen, MKC president and CEO. “The number of talented young men and women applying for our scholarship program increases each year making the selection process more difficult. We are honored to help these young students financially.” Students who received the scholarship provided information on their community involvement, extracurricular activities and employment. They also addressed college and career goals along with key aspects of the cooperative system.
$20,000 PLUS DONATED TO COUNTY 4-H PROGRAMS MKC contributed more than $20,000 to Kansas 4-H programs to support leadership development events for the county’s young 4-H members. This marks the 13th consecutive year for donations made to 4-H programs within the MKC trade territory. “This is a great opportunity for us to assist local 4-H organizations that play such a positive role in the lives of so many young people within our trade territory,” says Dave Christiansen, president and CEO, MKC. “It is exciting to think those same youth will be the future leaders of our communities.” Funds totaling more than $145,000 have been donated to 4-H since 2006 with matched contributions from the Land O’ Lakes, Inc. Foundation. In 2018, MKC made donations specifically to the leadership development funds to Butler, Clay, Dickinson, Ellsworth, Harvey, Kingman, Marion, McPherson, Morris, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Reno, Rice, Riley, Saline, Shawnee, Sumner and Wabaunsee counties.
FIRST-EVER SUMMER AG SYMPOSIUM DEMONSTRATES CUSTOMER FOCUS A large group of producers gathered in Manhattan on August 6, 2018 for the first-ever Summer Ag Symposium hosted by MKC. During this two-day workshop, attendees gained insight into the agricultural industry through speakers, breakout sessions and networking. The symposium featured a group of presenters who spoke on an array of topics relevant to today’s agricultural marketplace. “It is our goal to focus on our customers and the needs of their operation,” said Troy Walker, agronomy sales and precision ag manager. “Through our meetings like the Summer Ag Symposium, we focus on bringing in experts to discuss topics relevant to their operations and grow the relationships we have with them.”
INVESTMENT IN COVER CROP PLANT FOR MEMBER-OWNERS In 2018, MKC invested in building a cover crop plant to benefit memberowners. The three-bin facility with blending capabilities has multiple base ingredients and have the capabilities to create a custom mix to fit individual producers’ needs. “This is a market that has been growing and an area we want to meet the needs of our farmers and help educate them about the value of cover crops,” said Kent Nichols, agronomy sales and seed sales manager. “Our cover crop facility is an opportunity to provide cover crop seed and blends to customers across our entire footprint. We will source in different seed, make the blend and source directly to the grower.”
SHARED GROWTH. SHARED SUCCESS.

DRONES IN FLIGHT AT MKC Think that drones only belong in sci-fi movies? Think again. Drones, even autonomous ones, are not fantasy. In fact, they’re currently being developed for everyday use on farms just like yours, with the goal of saving you time and providing other tangible benefits. An innovative trial was conducted to demonstrate how autonomous drone technology can be practically integrated into routine farming operations. MKC partnered with American Robotics, a drone developer specializing in agricultural automation that is supplying the drones, and WinField United to host the trial. “We were very excited to be involved with the drone pilot,” says Troy Walker, precision ag manager and agronomy field sales manager for MKC. “The pilot will help prove the value of drones, particularly if they are unmanned.”

2019 MKC ANNUAL REPORT
SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY PAST INTERNS The internship program is undoubtedly a highlight of the summer at MKC. Each year, MKC selects college students to experience industry tours, complete a summer project and work alongside a mentor during their summer months away from school. The program works to build the professional and technical skills of the interns as they work to fulfill projects and duties. In 2018, 16 students spent their summer as an MKC intern. Interns were employed in ten areas including; agronomy and grain operations, agronomy sales and scouting, energy, feed sales, communications, precision agronomy, information technology, accounting and grain marketing for Team Marketing Alliance. MKC Coordinator of Talent and Industry Partnerships Hilary Worcester says MKC works diligently to provide a high-quality internship experience for students. “The goal is to strengthen the technical and professional abilities of each intern and develop quality employees, as some of them will be the future of MKC,” Worcester said.
DOWNLOAD THE TMA GRAIN MOBILE APP The TMA Mobile App was launched in October and allows patrons to access real-time futures quotes, location elevator bids, grain tickets, wait times, contracts and more. “The innovation and technology around our convient mobile app allows producers to easily access their account information with TMA onthe-go and from wherever they are,” said Matt Friesen, MKC information services manager. Through the app, users can see the following: • Bid sheets • Receiving times • Contracts • Tickets • Futures • Grain Balances The TMA Mobile App can be downloaded through Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Telling our story.
ENERGY DEPARTMENT IMPLEMENTS NEW DISPATCH TECHNOLOGY In February 2019, MKC went live with dispatching and routing using the new Cargas Energy System. The Energy Department continues to work on phase two and three of this project which includes functionality to improve internal efficiencies to improve the customer experience. “The implementation of this project in the energy department improves key process efficiencies and utilizes new tools and technology to improve the customer experience,” said Mandie Lyons, manager of application development for MKC. “There was a lot of training behind the scenes with this project but it continues to show value through more efficient dispatching and routing.”
SIXTH-ANNUAL EMERGING PRODUCER PROGRAM HOSTED MKC hosted the sixth annual Emerging Producers Program on February 22-23, 2019, in Manhattan at the Hilton Garden Inn and Manhattan Conference Center. The Emerging Producers Program is designed to provide young producers, between the ages of 22 and 40, with opportunities to learn from industry professionals, network with other producers and gain knowledge on new technologies to better their operations. More than 100 producers and guests attended. This year attendees heard from four industry professionals covering topics such as agricultural policy, using technology and data in agronomy, increasing nitrogen utilization and the farm economy.
PLAINS EQUITY, MKC TO MERGE The Board of Directors of both Plains Equity Exchange and Cooperative Union and MKC unanimously approved and entered into a Letter of Intent to finalize an Agreement and Plan of Merger, on February 18, 2019. Board Chairman for Plains Equity Roger Holmes said the board recognized the value this merger would bring to member-owners. “After months of studying, we believe unification is the best way to generate stockholder value and benefits, compete in the marketplace and build a stronger foundation for the future,” Holmes said. Allan Wegner, MKC Board chairman, commented the merger, would be a natural fit. “Together, our Boards and management identified benefits that were beneficial for both cooperatives, the members and our employees,” Wegner said. “The synergy we can gain by combining the two organizations will allow our cooperatives to continue to achieve more success.” After a series of informational meetings, the owners of Plains Equity approved the merger with MKC by a super majority of 95% at a special vote meeting on April 4, 2019.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW As we look back to our 2019 fiscal year, we are understandably proud of our financial performance and the value brought to our members-owners. We measure the success of our financial performance with three DANNY POSCH primary metrics; net Executive Vice President & earnings, net fixed Chief Financial Officer assets and working capital. We measure the value brought to our member-owners with two primary metrics; customer satisfaction and customer retention. Net earnings measure the level of success or profitability achieved, net fixed assets measure MKC’s commitment to growing and upgrading the infrastructure of the cooperative for future generations and working capital measures the strength and stability of the cooperatives’ balance sheet and overall financial position. Our net earnings for the fiscal year were $9 million, not as strong as our record-breaking net earnings of 2018, but still a strong performance and right at our 2019 financial plan expectations. We were again positioned to take advantage of carry opportunities in the grain market that ensured a strong financial performance of the grain business unit. Our energy and feed business units also had
14
2019 MKC ANNUAL REPORT
a solid year and performed above financial plan expectations. Unfortunately, not all news was positive this past fiscal year, our agronomy business unit was adversely impacted by extremely wet weather conditions throughout the last six (6) months of the year, limiting sales and service opportunities with our member-owners. MKC’s net fixed assets of the organization have grown from $25 million to $147 million in the past ten years. We are often reminded that the cooperative has no end date and that we must provide future generations with a company that can serve them as well as it has served previous generations. Our commitment to future generations is demonstrated in the growth of our net fixed assets. At fiscal year-end, our cooperative has a very strong working capital position of nearly $47 million, up $25 million from 2010. A strong working capital position is critical to our organization because it provides a platform for growth and allows the cooperative to execute its’ strategic goals, strengthens relationships with creditors, and allows the cooperative to maintain adequate lines of credit with lenders. It is also worth repeating that some of the greatest value delivered to our member-owners is not measured by a financial plan, ratio or target. MKC is committed to investing in the most talented employees, technology, innovative products, services, and financing. We strongly believe those investments help
the member-owner be more successful on the farm and ranch. A customer satisfaction metric measures how well our products and services meet or exceed our member-owners’ expectations, while a customer retention metric measures the ability of a business to retain customers. We are proud to report our customer satisfaction and customer retention metrics were 96% and 84%, respectively this past year. Both of
New Members
those metrics are considered very strong in any industry. Whether you attended the annual stockholder meeting or not, we are pleased to share our success with our member-owners, as well as our commitment to be a financially sound company that adds value for our member-owners today, and for future generations to follow.
MKC exists for our member-owners. We’re proud to be a cooperative collectively owned by more than 8,500 members.
