In
the truest sense of a successful cooperative, All West/select
Sires announces the distribution of patronage for 2008 business
profits. On September 15, 2009 All West Co-op members will
receive their share of the $1,404,212 cash being returned
in the form of patronage checks. This cash disbursement amounts
to 60% of the 2008 profits; the remaining 40% is scheduled
to be sent to qualifying members on a five year rotation.
That will make total patronage returned to members based on
their 2008 purchases well over 2.3 million dollars. This is
the largest declared patronage distributions in the 68 year
history of the cooperative. The second half of the 2003 patronage
will be paid on March 15, 2009. When combined with the September
payment over 1.8 million dollars will be paid out in cash
to members in 2009. This is also a record payout amount.
The total patronage returned for 2008 amounts to well over
13 cents on the dollar returned to member owners of the cooperative.
In other words, for every dollar spent on semen with All West
in 2007, 13 cents will be returned to the farmer who purchased
the semen through the cooperative. The more business they
did, the bigger their patronage checks will be. Operating
in an extremely efficient manner, the Burlington, Washington
cooperative has been able to returned huge patronage dividends
year after year. Well over 3.6 million dollars have been returned
in just the past two years. When combined with All West’s
industry leading 10% prompt payment discount, producers have
come to expect huge discounts and excellent patronage returns
from their farmer-owned cooperative.
All West/Select Sires began business in 1941 as Skagit County

Washington for the past 68 years. The mission of the Co-op
