Why is it needed?
Individual
farmers haven't the time, funds, workforce or facilities to make
all their feed, grow seed, process fertilizer, manufacture farm
supplies, market produce or perform scientific research.
By combining their purchases of these products with others,
as they do with Southern States Cooperative, farmers indirectly
own and operate modern feed mills, fertilizer plants, farm supply
warehouses, petroleum terminals, test farms, cotton gins and laboratories.
.
These all make the business of farming pay better by allowing
its members to produce food, tobacco and fiber of higher quality
and greater value.
Southern States sets the pace in establishing price and quality
standards in farm production supplies in its operating area by maintaining
fair prices and high quality products.
