FCSAmerica Customer-Owners See Dividends Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica) has announced that customer-owners in 14 counties in Southeast South Dakota, Northeast Nebraska and Northwest Iowa served by the coopera- tive’s Yankton and Sioux City Retail Offices received checks total- ing $5.58 million last month. These checks represent the areas’ share of a total $130 million cash-back dividends distributed by FC- SAmerica. “Customers can spend or invest their cash-back dividends as they wish, but past results suggest a significant percentage will be spent in the communities where they live,” said Neil Connot, Vice President. The two local offices work with customers in Bon Homme, Charles Mix, Hutchinson, Clay, Union and Yankton coun- ties in South Dakota, Cedar, Knox, Dixon, Dakota & Thurston coun- ties in Nebraska and Plymouth, Woodbury and Monona counties in Iowa. Financially, 2011 was a robust year for the cooperative, Connot said, due to new business growth, a decrease in credit losses, growth in loan volume and several other positive factors. These fa- vorable financial results enabled the cooperative’s Board of Direc- tors to return the largest cash-back dividend in its history to customer-owners, while continuing to offer competitive interest rates and building capital for future generations. The $130 million cash-back dividend for 2011 is the largest in FCSAmerica’s history and brings the total cash distributions since 2004 to more than $555 million. FCSAmerica has adopted a patronage program every year since 2004. Each eligible customer’s cash-back dividend is based on the average loan volume during the calendar year. The more loan busi- ness a customer has with the cooperative, the more they benefit fi- nancially through cash-back dividends. The FCSAmerica Board also approved a patronage program for 2012, with the total cash-back dividend to be decided by the Board in December 2012. For more information on the 2011 cash-back dividend distribu- tion, including every county in the state of South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska visit www.powerofownership.com. April Is Community Banking Month April is Community Banking Month, and CorTrust Bank is taking this opportunity to express its appreciation to their customers for banking locally and to encourage others to consider banking with their local community bank. Banking with a community bank is a relationship-based banking experience. Community banks know their customers by name and build strong relationships within the communities that they serve. Additionally, community banks keep money in the community by employing local citizens and maintaining local ownership. Community banks also drive local economies by supporting small business development with small business loans and other services. In fact, 60 percent of small business loans are provided by community banks. In good times and bad, community banks stand by their customers and make decisions that are in their customer’s best interest. There are 7,000 community banks across the country represent- ing 23,000 locations nationwide and employing more than 280,000 Americans. CorTrust Bank is proud to be a locally-owned commu- nity bank and avid supporter of the communities that it serves. This month, CorTrust Bank is urging customers to “Go Local” and stressing the advantages of using community banks and other lo- cally-owned small businesses.
