THE ANNUAL membership dinner meeting of the Rappahannock Farmers’ Co-operative, Sperryville, was held last Thursday evening at Panorama. The dinner was followed by a report of the progress and finances of the Co-Op for the past year and a tenyear comparison was also shown. The Sperryville store is a subsidiary of the parent plant, Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative, and other retail stores are located in Warrenton and Remington. According to the report made by manager Gordon Thornhill, total sales for 1971 were $703,525.68, an increase over the previous year of $101,721.31. This included feed, seed, fertilizer, farm supplies, lime and delivery. Thornhill gave a breakdown of the various categories, all of which showed increases. Operational costs, however, were up during 1971, with a total of $106,071 spent as compared to $94,167 for the year before. Most of the increased costs covered insurance, depreciation, interest, wages and truck operation. “WE THINK our growth was good and we think we will continue to grow with your help, your support and your continued use of the business that belongs to you,” said the manager. He also stated that comments and constructive criticism were welcome A REPORT from Southern States was made by Bill Ensogna and James Cornet, general manager for the entire operation, made a brief talk with slides. Door prizes went to Mrs. Ethel Bailey, a blender; Ray T. Cannon, a radio, Ted Triplett, an iron, and Reuben Washington, a grill.
