Southern States Cooperative History
Southern States Cooperative was originally founded as Virginia Seed Service, a conglomeration of 150 Virginia farmers to help distribute seeds, farm equipment, and fertilizer. This cooperative allowed Virginia farmers to receive and investigate better quality seeds.
Today, the company is an agricultural powerhouse, with more than 200,000 members and more than 1,200 locations in 23 states. The company sells almost everything for the homeowner and farmer, including animal feed and fertilizer; seed processing; grain marketing; equine health; diesel, propane, and home-heating services; wholesale farm supplies; financing; and even bib overalls.
Southern States continues to encourage farmers and is looking towards technology. In late 2014, the company began enlisting the help and technology of Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), one of the newest high-tech tools to allow satellite information from GPS networks to guide field equipment with higher rates of accuracy.

I am writing to complain about the amount of noise from you store in Winchester, VA. I own a home adjacent to your property and there is constant noise coming from forklifts, trucks left idling for hours, a super loud “trailer shaker”, and falling lumber. The majority of the noise comes from the back lot where fence posts and lumber are stored. I have been forced to listen to and feel in the floor of my home, a large piece of machinery that is left to sit and idle for hours on end, day after day. The noise starts early in the morning and continues throughout the day. I would think you would strive to be a good neighbor to the residents that must live next to your property, but it seems as if no one from your company really cares. There is also trash and litter that collects in the corners of your lot and is never cleaned up. It is a constant eyesore. I would appreciate it if someone from your company would address these issues and try to keep the level of noise down to provide a decent quality of life for your neighbors. I specifically see no reason to let large trucks and pieces of equipment sit and idle while wasting fuel for hours and hours. If your company is not willing to try and remedy this problem, I will be forced to look for other avenues of solution.
