HARRISBURG - The Senate Committee on Agriculture and Rural Affairs has given its en dorsement to legislation that removes the current eight percent ceiling on cooperative stock dividends. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Noah W. Wenger, R-38, was approved unanimously by the panel and then sent to the floor for a vote by the entire Senate. Wenger said the eight percent restriction which is contained in the Agricultural Association Act of 1968 hampers cooperatives in obtaining the money they need to finance their operations. “Most cooperatives depend on their members for financial support," Wenger said. “But the current limitation on cooperative stock dividends gives the com petitive edge to money market funds or other investments." Wenger said his bill would permit farm cooperatives to compete more effectively for financial support from their members instead of having to borrow at high commercial rates. Wenger serves as vice chairman of the Senate Agriculture and rural Affairs Committee.
