Challenges

How often have you thanked the good Lord above for the challenges you face daily? I’ll be the first to admit that it may seem counterintuitive to be thankful for our challenges. Challenges can cause stress, high blood pressure and other issues. They really are no fun at all. But […]

Driving with Data

I was recently asked by an employee what I think MFA Oil Company will look like in the future and whether I feel we are still prospering. Both are great questions and probably something I don’t talk about enough. I feel the company will be much larger in the future […]

Humbly Failing Forward

It wasn’t long after my last Momentum article titled “No Pain, No Gain” that we came to the realization perhaps we (I) underestimated the severity of some of the pain. You see, when you implement a new accounting system for the first time in 27 years, you expect to have […]

No Pain, No Gain!

“No pain, no gain!” I remember as a young athlete seeing this saying for the first time. It was posted in the tiny weight room of my high school to remind us that without hard work, future success is in doubt. The same rings true today, regardless of the situation. […]

Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing

In a recent sermon, my pastor focused on the idea of ensuring the church understands and sticks to its mission of serving God. This notion, keeping the main thing the main thing, originated from famous self-improvement guru Stephen Covey. It’s a strong point, and it made me reflect upon the […]

It’s Called MFA Oil for a Reason

What’s in a name? Well, in our case it describes our business and why we are here. For decades, MFA Oil has been known as a dependable supplier of fuels and propane with a deep appreciation of our farmer-owners. But what about oil? While we do sell a significant volume […]

Working Hard to Better Serve You

As a farmer-owned cooperative, we strive to make sure everything we do at MFA Oil is in service of the membership and meets your energy needs. On a day-to-day basis, this consists of negotiating with vendors to get the best combination of pricing and quality, watching world energy markets, conducting […]

The Painful Process of Staying Relevant

How often in your life have you had a rewarding accomplishment come easily? In my experience, the answer is almost never. In this ultra-competitive world we live in, great things don’t just happen. It takes hard work, focus and tremendous effort to achieve meaningful results. MFA Oil is currently in […]

Membership Has Its Privileges

Have you ever seen an advertisement you thought sounded too good to be true? In most cases, you’d probably be right. There’s almost always a catch. Some people may feel similarly about cooperatives—and the patronage refunds you can earn as members—but trust me, they are legit! The fact is, the […]

Clearing Up Some Misconceptions: Responding with Facts

“It must be true, I read it on the Internet!” You’ve probably heard something like this from a friend, relative or, more likely, one of your kids. I’m guessing most of us have had enough experience with the Internet and social media to know we can’t always believe everything we […]

Enhancing MFA Oil Communications

Welcome to the first edition of Momentum. This publication is part of our effort to keep our member-owners and customers up-to-date on the latest MFA Oil news. I believe it is essential to our continued mutual success that we keep our stakeholders apprised of the direction of the company and […]
