Pushed to the brink
Article Abstract:
Agricultural industry dealers must proactively address the biotechnology crop issue, with January through February or March, 2000, being crucial in communicating valid information to growers to help them make sound planting decisions for 2000. Two primary issues that dealers need to follow closely include foreign and domestic demand for non-biotech crops and purity labeling standards for food containing biotech-derived crops.

Information tells the story
Article Abstract:
Effective information management will be critical to crop protection product dealerships in 2000, with good data management practices being potentially pivotal for success within a lethargic agricultural market. Dealerships must identify new profit opportunities, new customers and their requirements and sales force strengths/weaknesses to optimize their operations as much as possible. If they have good information management systems, they will be able to obtain the data they need to optimize operations.

Making its mark
Article Abstract:
Southern States Cooperative Inc (SSC) of Richmond, VA, is one of the largest farmer cooperative in the US. The company has made key contributions to the agricultural industry since it was formed in July 1923. Among these were the introduction of the open-formula feed in 1925 and the open-formula fertilizer in 1926, and the construction of the first built fertilizer blending plant in the Eastern US in Culpeper, VA, in 1947.
