Ohio Farm Bureau Federation executive secretary Murray D. Lincoln told Athens County bankers that profits above overhead and a safe reserve would be returned to farmers via patronage dividends. A proposed Athens County Service Branch would operate with a trained Federation representative and a local service committee to help farmers bargain with chain stores, share credit, and promote cooperative marketing of livestock, dairy, apples, poultry, eggs, wool, feed, fertilizers, seed, and possibly fuels. The plan envisions stock purchases by county farmers, cash basis operations, and a six percent dividend on preferred stock, with roughly 11 000 to 15 600 dollars needed to run each station.
