Equity district annual meetings scheduled

Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association draws its strength from its members. These producer-members play a vital role in the cooperative's success and future.

Equity Livestock is hosting 10 district annual meetings in March. The meeting agenda includes information about Equity's 2012 operations and financial status, a review of the past year, and marketing tips from local market managers.

At the Reedsville, Eau Claire and Richland Center district meetings, there will be elections for board of director positions. The director elected in each district is responsible for representing members and making decisions to direct the cooperative's present and future direction.

"Equity as a producer's marketing cooperative, is built on strength, dedication and partnerships," says Chuck Adami, President/CEO. "Partnering with you since 1922, we've always encouraged our members to stay connected as we strive to improve on the programs and services that will be advantageous to a successful future." Make plans to attend; I look forward to visiting with you at these meetings."

Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association is a federated cooperative with its corporate office in Baraboo. Equity operates 12 auction markets and services producers in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Equity assists producers with the marketing, managing and financing of their agricultural business.
