Atlantic Merge To Be Completed Tommorrow
SOUTHAMPTON Tomorrow,
Feb. 1, marks the beginning and
end of eras in the dairy industry.
The merger between Inter-State
Milk Producers and Lehigh Valley
Farmers will be concluded and
Atlantic Dairy Cooperative will
officially exist.
During February Atlantic is
scheduled to return $9 million to
the joint membership from capital
retain, patronage refunds and
equity programs. “Basically the
membership won’t see much of a
change,” according to James
Barnett, member relations
manager for Inter-State. The
biggest change will be the two-tier
quality premium, he added,
providing the membership with the
opportunity to increase their milk
checks.
The board of directors for Lehigh
and Inter-State approved the
merger plans on Oct. 22 and sent
the plan to the membership for
their vote. The joint membership
approved the merger in November
by 90 percent.
Atlantic, based in Inter-State’s
facilities in Southampton, will
consist of 4,200 members with an
annual mitt marketing of 3.5
billion pounds.
