HARTINGTON — By early next week, there should be quite an influx of $2 bills in the area as Neu Cheese Company is in the process of paying $41,200 in bonuses with the seldom used currency.
According to owner Jim Neu, employees of the company recently received bonuses and bonuses to producer/patrons are being mailed out.
“The purpose of paying bonuses in $2 bills is to let people of the area know the impact of dairying on our local economy,” Neu said. “We have been doing this since 1970 and so far have given out around a quarter of a million dollars.”
Neu said the bills are ordered from the Federal Reserve by a local bank.
