A $202 million increase in
sales in 1973-74, bringing
Agway Inc. dollar volume to
$869.3 million for the year,
was reported to Agway
members at their annual
meeting in Syracuse, N.Y.
last week.
In his annual report to the
membership, Ronald N.
Goddard, executive vice
president and chief
executive officer, also noted
that total assets at- the end of
the year were $347 million, a
gain of $44 million over the
previous year.
Agway is a farm supply
and food marketing
cooperative owned by 113,000
farmers in 12 northeastern
states. Its headquarters are
located in Syracuse and it
operates stores, feed plants,
fertilizer manufacturing
plants, petroleum bulk
plants, and other
manufacturing and storage
facilities in nearly 1,000
communities in the states
where it serves.
During his report, God
dard outlined some of the
difficulties encountered
during the past year in
keeping supply lines to
farmers open in the face of

shortages, mounting costs,
and allocations.
He cited, as an example,
the difficulties in procuring
crude oil and refined
petroleum products in the
face of the Arab embargo
last year.
“The embargo hit
especially hard at in
dependent refiners who did
not have their own crude oil
sources but had to purchase
their needs on the open
market,” Goddard declared.
He pointed to Texas City
Refining, Inc., (TCR) in
which Agway holds a -
majority interest, as “just
Soil Sampling
Equipment Offered
A complete line of soil
sampling equipment is now
available from Harris
Scientific, Inc., of Lincoln,
Nebraska. All the equipment
is specially designed to
reduce the effort in collec
ting a good soil sample.
At the top of the line is the
Cinch - an automatic truck
mounted unit that is
patented, manufactured and
sold only by Harris. This new
unit can be operated without
leaving the driver’s seat.
“It’s push-button simple to
use,” says Bob Harris,
company president, “so the
Cinch really makes taking
soil samples as easy as
taking a drive.”
Cinch features include a

such an example.” With
regular sources of supply
shut off, TCR had to go into
the open market and search
out supplies whatever the
cost, if the farmers who
depend on Agway were to get
the fuels they needed.
“We did not make any
windfall profits from our
petroleum operations,”
Goddard told members. “In
fact, petroleum earnings
were cut sharply. Unit
volume dropped from 703
million gallons the previous
year to 634 million gallons in
1973-74.”
Fertilizer was another
universal adjustable
mounting bracket that does
not interfere with normal
truck use, automatic depth
control, a specially designed
auger and removable soil
container which holds up to
15 sub-samples taken 8”
deep.
Other items in the line
include power and non
power equipment, complete

also available. Equipment

major supply problem.
Increased world wide
demand for nitrogen,
phosphate, and potash put
fertilizer ingredients in short
supply and pushed prices up
dramatically. While it is
planned to increase fertilizer
production, it appears total
supplies will remain tight in
1975.
On the brighter side,
Goddard reported on
Agway’s insurance
operation which, he
declared, is the fastest
growing service Agway
offers. During the year, the
newly-organized Agway Life
Insurance Co. was licensed
in New York State making a
full line of property, casualty
and health and accident, as
well as life insurance
coverage, available to the
general public as well as to
members.
Goddard noted that far
mers, through their
productivity, have been a
strong force in fighting in
flation, but have felt the
intensifying pinch of the
cost-price squeeze.
“Through its research and
development work, and its
farm enterprise program,
Agway has helped farmers
increase their productivity
and keep per unit cost in
line,” he declared,
promising that Agway would
intensify its efforts to keep
costs under control by means
of a three part anti-inflation
program aimed at obtaining
more productivity from
people, facilities and money.
