To Reserve Your Booth 385-4300 A LIMITED NUMBER O F BOOTHS ARE AVAILABLE Problems? Yes. Serious? No. Outlook? Rosy. That summarizes General. Manger Stanley Steagall's report to 550 farm men and women at the fifteenth an­ nual meeting of McHenry FS this month. S(eagall cautioned his listeners not to be overly- influenced negatively by his report which had pointed out v a r i o u s " p r o b l e m s froriting not only the agricultural community but the entire population. "When I speak rather ominously of inflation, the need for more capital, sales leveling off and energy matters, I do not want you to think I am pessimistic," he observed. "With all its faults and problems con­ fronting the system we have here in the United States is so far ahead of second place that there is no comparison. Our ^titude and outlook can change events for the better. While there are problems galore in the 80's, there are so many opportunities," he asserted. Steagall recalled that a year ago the company was introducing gasohol and now be believes it is "a good short-term fuel, and maybe a long-term partial sub­ stitute toward, helping solve our energy problems." Gasohol is 10 percent en- thanol alcohol made from corn and other similar products, combined with 90 percent unleaded gasoline. Explained Steagall: "By reducing our demand for so much unleaded gasoline, we can affect the delicate balance of crude oil and stop OPEC countries from raising prices again." He anticipates a rise in the price of anhydrous ammonia since much energy is needed to make it and worldwide demand for all fertilizer is brisk. "However, any projection is subject to world economic and political in­ fluence," he reminded. Two veteran board members retired at this annual meeting. Robert Gardner, Solon Mills dairy farmer and a board member since 1957, and Don Stoxen, a board member for a dozen years, were recognised in a program conducted by Richard Walters, vice- president. The board has established a policy of honoring board members with 15 years of service by placing their portraits in the "Gallery of FS Builders", located in the McHenry FS office building on McConnell road. Portraits of Gardner, who has served as president for all but three of his 22 years on the board, and of Glen Benoy, who retired at last year's annual meeting were unveiled in presentation ceremonies.' Later Walters honored Gardner by presenting him with a gavel and remarked ^hat a check of the records shows that Garnder missed only 10 out of more than 250 meetings during his years of service. Two new directors were elected to the board and one director was re-elected. William Cristy, Wonder Lake, was reelected for a three-year term. Delwin Borhart, Huntley dairy farmer, and Gary Martin, Harvard dairy farmer, were elected as new members to the board. Discussing the company's financial picture, Stoxen, treasurer, said net sales totaled over $24»2 million, a big jump from the ^15,6 million a year ago. Part of the increase is attributed to a strong response to the grain marketing program instituted less than two years ago. Net income totaled $791,137, an increase over the year-ago total of $501,106. The board voted a patronage, refund at $526,898, half to be distributed in calh and half in Class E preferred stock. In his remarks Steagall explained the company must provide its own financing through money provided by farmers, and the Class E stock is the most efficient and fair method of assuring strong capitalization in this era of inflation. " Carrying out the theme of this 1980 annual meeting that "At McHenry FS, You ifarmers) Make the Dif­ ference." colored slides of several hundred McHenry county farmsteads taken by Randy Erwin, sales manager, were flashed on twin screens. McHenry FS continued its policy of honoring veteran employees with a tribute accorded Richard Nickels, office manager throughout his 20 years with the com­ pany. John Fillman, Mazon farmer who is a veteran member of the FS Services board, reported on the merger of FS Services and Illinois Grain into a parent company called Growmark. He explained the identifying features of the two com­ panies will continue, IG and the familiar parallelogram FS. He explained Growmark will serve through the two division, grain and supplies. "Volume of $2 billion will make Growmark one of the l a r g e s t r e g i o n a l cooperatives in the United States. Our relation with Farm Bureau will remain the same, and our goal will be, the same-to improve the profitability of farming", said Fillman.
