Short Term Borrowings

5. Short term credit capacity as of February 29, 2012 totaled $108.3 million; $41.6 million has been borrowed from CoBank (the "Bank") and $35.2 million from the USDA Commodity Credit Corporation "CCC". That leaves the Company with a remaining short-term credit capacity totaling $31.5 million. The increase in seasonal debt from August 31, 2011 to February 29, 2012 is due to normal seasonal operations for a 1.95 million ton crop.
