TREMONT COOP FALL HARVEST PROCEDURES AND COVID-19

With harvest approaching, we wanted to update our patrons and community with our plans for fall harvest operations at all Tremont Cooperative facilities. Our priority remains keeping our staff and our customers safe and healthy and to keep business running as smoothly as possible. However, in light of the ever-changing requirements from public health officials, we have decided we will be able to best serve everyone by taking the following precautions:

**All Tremont Coop offices will be closed with limited access for essential business until further notice. We are taking these precautions to ensure our staff is able to continue serving you through harvest and ensure that we run as normal as possible. Additionally, we will be closing all scale houses and will have signs around our facilities with contact numbers if you require assistance.**

We will still be available by phone, email and text. We will continue mailing checks, settlements and paperwork as much as possible but will be able to have paperwork picked up at our offices with prior communication.

We are also posting a link to a Power of Attorney form for signing Price Later agreements. We have several customers who use these currently and would encourage you to consider using this tool to limit your trips to the office if possible. This form does not need to be signed in front of a notary public but rather a witness at any of our offices could substitute for that requirement. Please call us if you would like to discuss this further.
