With Class I sales remaining
stagnant but cheese sales and con
sumption increasing, Dever said
that cheese and value added pro
ducts offer the best potential for
profit.
LOL offers the possibility of

already established markets in
Poland and Bulgaria and plans to
distribute dairy products through
out the world.
ADC is attractive to LOL
because the largest segment of the
U.S. population resides on the East
Coast and the largest parts of its
cheese and butter business is here.
This would enable LOL to more
efficiently transport its product.
Dever promised that two facts
are non-negotiable. “Anything that

organization is here to benefit the
members and only the members
must be continued.
During the business session,
ADC reported sales of $605 mil
lion and a net margin of $5.8 mil
lion for the the 1996 fiscal year.
Although $5.8 million is a 25 per
cent return on invested capital, the
board elected to reinvest that
money into the manufacturing
operation instead of sending a thir
teenth check.
In other business, the Outstand
ing Young Cooperators Kenneth
