Golden Growers Cooperative reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, revealing a net income of $1.406 million for the quarter, down from $1.561 million in the same period last year. For the nine-month period, net income remained relatively stable at $4.492 million compared to $4.533 million in 2024. The cooperative's corn revenue for the third quarter was $12.321 million, an 8% decrease from $13.446 million in the prior year, while year-to-date revenue increased by 3% to $48.631 million, attributed to a higher volume of corn delivered.
The cooperative's total assets decreased to $22.099 million as of September 30, 2025, down from $24.900 million at the end of 2024. This decline was primarily due to a reduction in members' equity, which fell to $18.527 million from $24.696 million, largely influenced by distributions to members totaling $7.126 million during the nine-month period. Current liabilities increased significantly to $3.572 million from $204,000, reflecting accrued liabilities related to member distributions.
Operationally, Golden Growers Cooperative sold approximately 3.3 million bushels of corn in the third quarter, down from 3.5 million bushels in the same quarter of 2024. For the nine-month period, the cooperative delivered about 11.9 million bushels of corn, slightly up from 11.8 million bushels year-over-year. The cooperative's members delivered 0.4 million bushels using Method A and 2.9 million bushels using Method B in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 0.7 million and 2.8 million bushels, respectively, in the same period of 2024.
Looking ahead, the cooperative's management has indicated that it expects to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents, along with access to a $2 million line of credit, to support operations for the foreseeable future. The cooperative is also preparing for the sale of its 50% interest in ProGold LLC to Cargill following the expiration of the facility lease in December 2026, as part of a broader plan for liquidation and dissolution approved by its members. This strategic decision is expected to impact the cooperative's financial structure and member distributions in the coming years.
