    The share of FCSAmerica’s 2017 dividend returned to Nebraska customer-owners amounts to $60.35 million.
    Farmers and producers in Chase County will receive $406,000.
    FCSAmerica has distributed a portion of its net earnings to eligible customer-owners every year since 2004, returning a total of $1.5 billion to farmers, ranchers and agri-businesses in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.  
    “Our cash-back dividends are an important way of sharing FCSAmerica’s financial strength with our customer-owners,” said Mitchel Korf, Western Nebraska regional vice president of FCSAmerica.
