Our only coop/feedstore in the area is closing down Janruary the 11th , they took a vote from the share holders and it was either close down now or they would be bankrupt in six months. I have some shares of stock and the guys there begged everyone to vote yes on the closing instead of dragging it out. That way they at least left with a good name. The guy that takes care of all of their field spraying is going to come to work for us. He only has 12 months until he can draw his SS. But, hopefully he will stay with us longer than that. It is the only local feed store within 45 mins. other than pos Tractor Supply Company! Makes me wanna cry seeing it close up and nine people lose their jobs and the word just came down yesterday. So much for a Merry Christmas for them! Please pray for these guys and gals. Many of them I have known for most of my life and have given me a wealth of education and helped me out more than once. This must be the only coop left bearing the SS name from what I understand. SS doesn't actually own the coop they just use the SS name and buy stuff from them. The store lost between 18 and 28 thousand dollars six out of the last seven years.
