	Customer Testimonials
	"After 30 years of dairy farming in Wisconsin as a member of Equity Cooperative, it is an eye-opening experience to see what animal agriculture marketing is like in a place without an Equity Cooperative. Consider: no competitive bidding for price discovery, no quality assurance about animals being sold, no guarantee that payment will be made, no sophisticated centralized locations to facilitate sales; all things Equity supplies routinely on a daily basis." ~ George Roemer, Combat Farmer Nangarhar, Afghanistan Roemer I've always bought and sold livestock through Equity in Reedsville and receive fair market value for my cattle. I live 12 miles away making it convenient for me to haul animals there myself. I've been a patron of Equity Reedsville for a long time and they take care of me. There is no reason for me to market anywhere else. I also take pride in serving on our local board and supporting a cooperative that I value." ~ Jeff Wunrow Hilbert, WI Wunrow
