But if you're an independent egg producer—or if you'd like to be —we can help you get the kind of freedom you want without Jeopardizing your income. Producers Pride is a cooperative. It's owned and controlled entirely by producers who want a voice in how their eggs are marketed. We've been in business since 1932, For over 34 years, Producers Pride members have been getting paid every week for their previous week's egg shipments. We have never, ever missed a week. When you join Producers Pride, you become part owner ot the business. And since we’re not a giant co-op, your voice ’ as an ov\ ner is important. You'll be Joining a small organization—fewer than 200 producers—but we have the volume to service a growing market. And our markets are growing, thanks to the dedicated efforts of a small bat hard-working and very capable staff. We are your friends and neighbors in the egg business. We enjoy being independent, and we enjoy having a guaranteed market for our eggs. This is the year for independence, and producers Pride is looking for a few more good members.
