"Seventy-seven years ago, farmers organized Virginia Seed Service which later became Southern States Cooperative to serve their basic agricultural production needs. Through the years, the cooperative has been innovative in providing new products and services to help farmers improve their livelihood,” says Carroll Gilbert, the cooperative's director of member relations.
"Growing Solutions Since 1923," the current local annual membership meetings theme, reflects the regional coop's "continuing dedication to improve farm inputs and services," adds Gilbert.
Election of local board members and Farm Home Advisory Committee (FHAC) members are important features of the annual membership meeting for Southern States Front Royal Cooperative.
Board nominees are Hubert "Hubie" S. Gilkey, III and William E. "Eddie" Noakes, both of the Flint Hill area.
