The corn is starting to turn, students are back in school and summer is winding down! But what else does September bring? As a member of the NNTC Cooperative, it means allocations put into your capital credits account, based on what you paid in for services in 2025.
For 2025, 56% of what you paid NNTC for phone, TV and/or internet services will be allocated to your capital credit account. For example, if you paid NNTC $1,000 for services during 2025, $560 will be allocated to your account as capital credits.
Keep in mind, this is not a payout amount. Instead, the amount goes into your capital credit account, and a percentage may be returned to you in December. When NNTC’s financial position allows, the Board of Directors may vote to retire capital credits.
NNTC allocates excess revenues to its members rather than outside shareholders. Capital credits are one of the unique benefits of being an NNTC member and part owner of the company.
Please note: CenCom is a subsidiary of NNTC and not part of the cooperative at this time.
Broadband in Action: A Look Inside Siouxland Ethanol
What does broadband have to do with making ethanol? Quite a bit!
NNTC recently had the opportunity to join the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) Congressional Broadband Tour as they made their way through rural Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska last month. The three-day tour brought 14 congressional staff members to rural communities to see firsthand how reliable broadband is supporting businesses, agriculture, health care and everyday life.
One of the Nebraska stops was at Siouxland Ethanol, located just outside Jackson. Siouxland Ethanol Plant Manager Pat Baker and Production Manager Tim Stoppel welcomed the group showcasing the amazing volume the plant produces: 225,000 tons of distillers dried grains and 17,000 tons of corn oil each year!

The tour took congressional staffers inside the heart of Siouxland Ethanol, the control room where technology is used to monitor and manage the facility’s operations.
During the tour, visitors got a firsthand look at Siouxland Ethanol’s operations and learned how technology and broadband play a role in keeping a modern ethanol plant running. Siouxland Ethanol utilizes broadband service provided by NNTC, helping support the connectivity needed throughout its operations.
That’s exactly what FRS wanted to highlight during the tour: rural broadband isn’t just about connecting homes. It’s about connecting rural communities to opportunity.
Thank you to Siouxland Ethanol for welcoming the group and providing a behind-the-scenes look at rural innovation in action. Thank you to the FRS and to congressional staffers for visiting Nebraska!
