Marketing Inc. (MMI) saw earn
ings and revenues increase during
the 1995 fiscal year. Executive
Vice President and CEO Don
Schriver reported during the co
op’s annual meeting Nov. 20-21 in
Pittsburgh.
With milk volume up 340 mil
lion pounds, the farmer-owned
dairy cooperative and food com
pany saw revenues increase $4B
million to over $1 billion.
Earnings jumped from $3.9
million in fiscal 1994 to $5.5 mil
lion. MMI is headquartered in
Strongsville, Ohio and owned by
some 9,000 farm families in 11
states.
’This year was a tough one for
members,” Schriver said. “Spring
rain prevented planting for some,
summer heat stymied production
for others. In spite of that, MMl’s
1995 fiscal year held some amaz
ing achievements.”
Even though the average pay
price farmers received for their
milk dropped from $13.52 per
hundred pounds in 1994 to $12.81
per hundredweight, MMI was able
to pay its members an extra $8.5
million in cash premiums, Schriv
er told some 500 delegates and
farmers. On top of that, he said,
MMI returned $6.7 million in
equity contributions to farmers,
plus the co-op shared another $2.2
million in earnings with members.
