Make Time for Safety

BEWARE of dangers above. Your LIFE depends on it.

Farm Safety & Health Week is September 20-26. Look up and look out for power lines. Fall harvest is the most likely time of year for farm-related accidents and fatalities. Be aware of your surroundings.

HARVEST SAFETY TIPS:

1. Check the height of the farm equipment to determine clearance, should be a minimum of 10-foot safety radius around an electric line.

2. Be aware of the location of power poles and lines, including field entry and exit points, and plan a safe equipment route.

3. Lower extensions to their lowest setting when moving equipment and use a spotter.

4. Never attempt to move a power line out of the way or raise it for clearance.

5. Know what to do if your equipment does not make contact with a power line. It's almost always safety staying in the cab. Call 9-1-1, warn others to stay away, and wait until the electric utility says it's safe to get down.

CAPITAL CREDITS - Your piece of the pie!

JREC is a not-for-profit organization and we distribute any profits made each year to our members in the form of capital credits. Capital credits represent your ownership in JREC and are used to support operations and maintain and improve the utility's infrastructure to better serve you, our member. The board of directors decides when it is financially feasible for capital credits to be returned to members while maintaining adequate reserves of capital for business expenses.

Your piece of the pie is being served. That's right, you will receive a slice of the pie (your capital credits) on your November 2021 bill. Your slice of the $438,939.72 in capital credits (or margins) being refunded this year is determined as follows: 100 percent of any capital credits allocated in 1991 and 50 percent of 1992, and an additional 2 percent from 1993 to 2020.

Your 2020 Capital Credit allocation information was provided on your April 2021 energy bill. This notice included information on your 2020 capital credit retirement (paid to you in Nov 2020), your allocation (your portion of 2020 profits that were added to your capital credit account), and your capital credit balance as of 12/31/20. This amount was not payable at that time. You do not need to take any action...this is informational only.

If you have questions on any of this credits, please give our office a call.
