The Wisconsin Agri-Business Association (WABA) has recognized Northside Elevator, Loyal, Wiscsonsin, with its annual Distinguished Organization Award.

Northside Elevator has been serving Wisconsin’s agriculture industry for 75 years with growing impact in the local community and across the state.

In September, 2022, Northside Elevator hosted WABA’s Legislative Agribusiness Tour that invites state, county, and local elected officials to learn more about what agribusiness companies do, not only for their customers, but for their communities as well.

Northside Elevator is an active member of WABA, sending staff members to numerous events and programs including: Leadership Programs, Grain Grading Schools and Grain Traders Workshops.

Likewise, since its inception, Northside Elevator has been the largest contributor to WABA’s Feed Management Consulting Program, which has been instrumental in Northside Elevator becoming a certified Safe Feed Safe Food production facility.

“The Wisconsin Agri-Business Association board of directors recognizes one member organization annually with the Distinguished Organization Award," said Tom Bressner, WABA executive director. "The award is in recognition of exceptional participation in and representation of WABA’s mission to grow the prosperity of Wisconsin’s agribusinesses through advocacy, education, and engagement.”

Ted Brussow, president of Northside Elevator, said the company is honored to be recognized by WABA, an organization that shares our respect and dedication to serving the needs of farmers, agribusiness and the future of agriculture.
