I don’t think we have co-ops that act like yours do. Is this like the county extension office? Ours is useless, I called and asked them some questions once and I could see their blank stares through the phone.
I replied once and it just disappeared so if this comes twice-sorry. Our Co-Op is like a feed store. We have county extension offices to but we get more info from the guys at the co-op, mot of them are farmers anyway, not county employees. You can Google Alabama Farmers Cooperative and it kinda tells you what they are about.
