bers today, or 24 cents per hun
dredweight for milk shipped

cial allocations received from
other cooperatives. Based on the

determined by the cooperative
from which they are received. The
total cash distribution is 15.6 cents

Normally mailed on September

ed ten days early this year, on Fri

mers. The remaining 30 percent,
or 8.5 cents per hundredweight in

According to President Jack
Hardesty, a dairy farmer from
Betryville, Virginia, “Because of
the cooperative’s excellent finan
cial condition, the board of direc
tors for Maryland and Virginia has
been committed to returning as
much cash as soon as possible to
the cooperative members.”
45.6 Cents/CWT Total
The 15.6 cent/cwt patronage
dividends are in addition to 30
cents per hundredweight that pro
ducers received in a 13th check in
February and last fall. Distributed
to producers for the last 19 years,
the 13th check normally is mailed
in its entirety in February. Howev
er, approximately six cents per
hundredweight were distributed
monthly in the fall of 1996 to
compensate for high feed prices
dairy farmers were experiencing.
In February, Maryland and Virgi
nia producers received the addi
tional 24 cents per hundredweight.
Only 20 Percent By Law
By law, cooperatives are
required to return only 20 percent
to its members. However, with

drought conditions, couple with
Maryland and Virginia’s strong
financial position, the cooperative

much cash as soon as possible to
the cooperative members.

grovc added, “We understand
dairy farmers are struggling now
with low milk prices and drought
conditions, and hope that this pat
ronage dividend check will help to
ease the financial challenges of
today’s dairy industry.”
