CoBank donates $5,000 to Wisconsin and Minnesota cooperative organizations

The Minnesota Association of Cooperatives (MAC) and the Wisconsin Federation of Cooperatives (WFC) have each received a $2,500 check from CoBank on behalf of Douglas W. Triplett, a former director on the cooperative bank’s board.  Triplett, who owns and operates a farm in Annandale, Minn., is also a former chairman and board member of MAC and a former board member of WFC.  WFC and MAC provide education, technical and other services to more than 800 cooperatives in Wisconsin and Minnesota.   

“I strongly support CoBank’s philosophy of giving back to the communities in which we operate,” says Triplett. “I’m particularly proud that the bank is underwriting MAC and WFC and their efforts to educate area students about the importance and scope of cooperatives in the upper Midwest and throughout the U.S.” [WisBusiness.com]
