Farmers heard some good news
about their organization from Lin
da Hix who is in charge of mem
bership. The membership drive
has been very successful with 666
memberships. renewed and over
300 already paid. Compared to
memberships renewed in previous
years, Hix said the 1988 member
ship drive had fantastic results.
That was seconded by Roy
Christman of the Pennsylvania
Farmers Association State Board
who predicted that the Chester-
Delaware County Farmers’ Asso
ciation may go over its mark this
year. In other business, Christman
reported the great success of the
association’s newest marketing

been too successful because the
companies which PFA has con
tracted to do the actual work have
been overwhelmed with the
demand from farmers.
“We did our job well and I guess
we did it a little too well,” said
Christman. “We have had a 100
percent increase in moving barges.
We have a real good thing going
here and we have been contacted
by Cargill and some other grain
people to work together. It will
take more money, but 1 think
things will run a lot smoother if we

run it ourselves.”
Christman assured the members
that although the PFA state board
has been discussing insurance
coverage with some of the indus
try’s lepresentives, there would be
no changes in PFA insurance.
“I am opposed to any changes in
insurance. It’s my opinion that if
something is not broke, why fix it.
We have looked into our insurance
program, but nothing has hap
pened to our insurance,” said
Christman.
