The milk supply issue is still a very crucial one to the Co-operative and the recent temporary extension of quotas to cover the supply of milk to specialty chees plants has provided some protection against a further ero- sion of milk supply to butter, powder and cheddar cheese manufacturers. Membership in total decreased but active milk and cream producer membership is up in 1985. 3,581 hold membership in the Co-operative, down from last year's high of 3,866. From earnings, the Board of Direc- tors declared a dividend of $1.00 per. common share plus a patronage divi- dend returning over $551,000 in cash and common shares to members. Peter McLinden, president, an- nounced that sales had increased to $156 million, slightly higher than last year's level. However, earnings had dropped by ;272,000. Despite this change the Co-operative's financial position remains strong and members equity is currently 40 percent of total assets - an increase of three percent over last year. the Co-operative acquired the cheese plant in Milverton, Ontario this past fiscal year further expan- ding its' entry into the Canadian specialty cheese market. y As Christmas carols. fill the air, our thoughts are with our many friends.
