United Ag
SENECA FALLS. NY-
United Ag Services was organized
in 1987 by a group of dairy far
mers dedicated to the idea that the
small dairy cooperative, covering
a given geographical area can best
serve nearby dairy farmers. They
were convinced these independent
cooperatives should be kept alive.
This conviction was based on a
philosophy of “neighbor helping
neighbor” to improve their fami
lies’ quality of life.
Providing all of the functions of
the large cooperatives while
remaining independent meant that
the cooperatives would need to
obtain the services they needed at
a reasonable cost Therefore a ser
vice organization, United Dairy
Cooperative Services, Inc. d/b/a
United Ag Services, (United) was
established to fill that need.
United is administered by a Board
of Directors made up of represen
tatives elected to it by each mem
ber cooperative.
A basic philosophy of United is
that rather than investing in
“bricks and mortar” its only capi
tal investments should be in the
equipment essential to its opera
tions. United provides marketing,
accounting, quality control, bank
ing administration, producer pay
roll, market administrator reports,
legislative representation, and a
variety of other services to meet
the needs of each of its member
cooperatives. Each cooperative is
autonomous, controlling its own
membership and finances and
keeping its own bank account in a
hometown bank. More recently
United has expanded its role by
making its programs available to
small and medium sized agricul
tural organizations and to indivi
dual farmers. United is able to
provide farm accounting record
programs and employee payroll
services adapted to the individu
al’s needs.
United has consistently been a
leader in providing premiums for
its members. Frequently, other
dairy fanners have benefited from
United’s success in this area.
United members were also the
first to receive protein or solid
not-fat premiums in their market
ing areas. It set a precedent in
obtaining three times a month
Lancaster, and Carlisle areas.
Leaner* employs approximately
SO employees at its locations, with
headquarters at 4350 West Market
St in York.
Walter and Jackson, Inc. will
retain all of Leaner Home Centers*
locations and employees. In the
near future, all stores will be
changed to the Servistar brand
with grand openings planned for
September 1995.

series medium duty rotary

operators to choose widths
