Profile:

Southern States does what no one farmer can. Because it pools members’ resources, the co-op enables all its farmer-members to benefit from greater research capabilities. Since its beginning as Virginia Seed Service in 1923, Southern States has been at the forefront of agricultural advances throughout its 80 years in business. The cooperative purchases, manufactures or processes feed, seed, fertilizer, farm supplies and fuel.
