Milk Cooperative, Mt. Holly
Springs, calling it “the profit
center of the future.” Without
member commitment, he" said,
expansion of the wholly-owned
subsidiary would not have been
possible.
McSparran told the 500
delegates, alternates and guests
that Holly’s expansion would result
in the plant becoming less
dependent upon government sales.
In a separate report, Holly Milk
Cooperative general manager
Roderick McLeod said the plant
achieved its primary purpose of
being a reliable balancing plant for
the Inter-State system.
“Since January 1983, through
improved operations, yields,
quality and reliability and through
reduced operating expenses, Holly
was brought into the ‘black’,” he
said.
In reference to quality and yield,
McLeod said that profitability
increased although gross expenses
increased. On a per hun
dredweight processed basis,
operating costs decreased 20 cents
per hundredweight.
Moreover, profitability in
creased while reducing the load on
the plant’s wastewater treatment
plant. The treatment plant
operated within permit limits this
calendar year, he said.
Also, Holly is installing ad
ditional equipment to package
butter in one-pound cartons for
Land O’ Lakes, McLeod said. A
new evaporator, approved during
the Cooperative’s 1982 meeting, is

security
operational and will provide the
plant with needed flexibility to
process milk profitably for Inter-
State’s members.
On other Inter-State policies,
McSparran said the Board of
Directors decided to withdraw the
Cooperative’s membership from
Atlantic Processing Inc. (API).
He said the Cooperative now sells
milk to API under contract.
As he outlined the year’s events,
McSparran noted that Federal
Order 4 sales have increased in
recent months. “Some of the
credit must go to our advertising
program,” he said.
McSparran also outlined the
steps that the National Milk
Producers Federation (NMPF)
took this year in attempting to get
“meaningful legislation passed to
help correct the supply and
demand imbalance” of dairy
products.
According to McSparran, also a
member of NMPF’s executive
committee, the Federation has
worked toward increasing fluid
milk standards and has developed
a model for any federal order that
plans to include component pricing
of milk.
In other business, finance
manager Evan L. Fineman
reported that Inter-State’s 1983 net
earnings increased by 13 percent
over 1982. Fineman attributed the
growth to increased sales, reduced
operating expenses and lower
interest expenses. Increased Class
I sales boosted marketing service
income, he added.
Income generated by the
Cooperative’s capital retain
program helped reduce interest
expenses by $250,000, Fineman
said. In addition, Inter-State
allocated $110,517 in investment
tax credit to members for calendar
1982. He said the credit for 1983 is
$108,146 and will be included in
each member’s IRS Form 1099
which will be mailed in January
1984.
Fineman also noted that the
record margin of $993,722 was
reached without any deductions
from excess milk. All costs
associated with marketing surplus
milk were absorbed by Inter-State.
Inter-State marketed 2.51 billion
pounds of milk for 3,200 Middle
Atlanctic dairy farmers in fiscal
1983.
