Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ has launched a new podcast to help raise awareness of our role in the cooperative system.
Through interviews with people inside and outside of Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, each episode of It Takes a Co-op™ will demonstrate the value in connecting with Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ and the cooperative system.
“Podcasts are becoming a staple for our ag and energy audiences throughout their day,” says Malissa Fritz, vice president of communications, and host of It Takes a Co-op. “Launching a podcast aligns perfectly with our goal to engage listeners in a more dynamic and accessible way.
“We’re excited to bring our listeners a diverse lineup of Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ employees, experts, owners and partners each month. This approach will not only highlight the collaborative spirit of Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, but also deepen our connection with our audience by showcasing the stories and expertise that drive our cooperative forward.”
The first episode, now available, is titled "The impact of the cooperative system." It features conversations with Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ Board of Directors Chair Dan Schurr and Shannon Forster, who manages her family's farm in Aitkin, Minn., and is a co-op owner who has represented fellow Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ owners at the company’s annual meeting.
