Hansell Co-op shows profit for year
EXETER - Members of the Hen-
sall District Co -Operative Inc.
learned at Wednesday's annual
meeting at the South Huron Rec
Centre in Exeter that net savings of
$239,742 have been achieved for
the business year ending July 31,
1995.
Net savings for the year 1994
were $1,157,890. In explaining
this, general manager Earl Wagner
said, "We can't spend $4 million in
expansions and continue to keep
our profitability up. It's short term
pain for long term gain. I ask you
to have patience for a couple of
tough years."
In regard to the expansions com-
pleted in the latest fiscal year,
board of directors president Martin
Van Raay said, " In order to remain
competitive and make use of our
bean processing plant, we have in-
vested heavily in a new colored
bean receiving and storage facility.
The Hensall Livestock Sales prop-
erty was purchased in order to
build this facility adjacent to our
bean processing plant."
He continued, "As well, a new
10,000 square foot warehouse on
the old bean plant property will ex-
pand our present warehouse facili-
ty. This investment will benefit the
Co-op as a whole, as we strive to
develop new marketing opportuni-
ties. We hope that members who
choose to grow these new products
will see increased returns on their
efforts to produce top quality
beans."
On the same subject, Wagner
said, "Agricultural commodities are
in good demand and we will con-
tinue to provide top notch products.
High quality begins in the fields.
China has an increasing appetite
for wheat, corn, soybeans and ferti-
lizers."
He continued, "Our top priority
will continua to be the best service
possible to our members and cus-
tomers. We are committed to rural
services."
Construction is expected to start
almost immediately on the Co-op's
latest expansion program. A new
store is being built at the north end

of Exeter, next to McDonald's. The
present stores in Hensall and Exeter
will be closed an4the lumber inven-
tory in Zurich will be reduced.
On the Exeter store, Wagner add-
ed, " We hope to have a hole in the
ground sometime next week. For
our member customers from the
north it will mean only an extra five
minutes of travel to get to our new
location."
Sales for the year ended July 31
were $104,513,796. This is an in-
crease of over $11 million from the
previous year. Sales of wholesale
fertilizer were up from $1.5 million
to just over $4 million.
Secretary John Campbell reported
that directors had approved a pat-
ronage repayment in the amount of
$188,000 with the balance of the net
savings being transferred to general
revenue.
Campbell explained that the pat-
ronage amounting to 0.25 percent of
net savings is based on all business
carried out by eligible members.
Director Evert Ridder, the local
representative on the board of direc-
tors of United Co-operatives of On-
tario reported that UCO filed for
bankruptcy on October 26, 1995
and operating assets have been sold
to Growmark. Ridder added, " The
effect on members was minimal."
In his director's report, Van Raay
said, "Shortly after last year's annu-
al meeting, the board decided not to
become a member of the Regional
Co-operative, Growmark Inc. Due
to Growmark's purchasing policy of
dealing exclusively with their mem-
bers, Hensall Co-op has found other
sources of supply for our wholesale
products. We signed up with the
Do -it program for our store supplies
and as a result, many of our stores
received much needed facelifts and
will better supply our member
needs.
We replaced the UCO line of
feeds with our own HDC brand.
For crop inputs, we joined a buying
group that works with low over-
head and margins while insuring
maximum volume discounts from
chemical suppliers
To insure a supply of quality fer-

tilizers we have joined Farmland
Industries Inc., the largest of the
American regional co-operatives
with sales in excess of eight billion
dollars. Farmland with their own
manufacturing and mining facili-
ties will provide a competitive
source of fertilizer products. We
hope to develo' our relationship
with this organization as the board
fully understands the benefits of
membership in other co-operatives.
Some things have not changed
over the past eight years. While
heavy investment in capital asset
has made it difficult to produce t
bottom line as strong as 1993 am
1994 years, 1995 remained profita
ble. As well as the patronage divi
dend of 0.25 percent there will be t
repayment of 10 percent of the out-
standing
utstanding patronage dividend ac
count and a seven percent cash bo-
nus on mandatory member loans. I
