Patron

I have a copy of the official Southern States publication the "Patron" dated February, 1934. The cover story states, in part, "...dedicated to the service of agriculture in Southern States territory- Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina." Now this seems to conflict directly with the information given in this Wikipedia article which includes Delaware amongst the represented states, and leaves out North Carolina entirely. Perhaps the information should be more carefully researched, or, if accurate, clarified. -Bordergroves

The info came from the SSC website. Feel free to add information dml 18:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Point of View: Wiki requires Neutral point of view

This article reads like advertising for Southern States Cooperative.

Indeed, a number of the edits refer to changes made by SSC:COOP, saying "These updates have been made to make our company information most current."

This provides current, but not historical, information about Southern States Cooperative. Historical information is crucial for context.

Additionally, a neutral POV is required by Wikipedia rules: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view The majority of the article seems copied verbatim from the Southern States Cooperative website: http://www.southernstates.com/sscinfo/our-heritage/index.aspx

The edits by SSC:COOP refer to unsubstantiated claims of industry 'leadership', and speaks to the reader in the first person. These edits are questionable and raise concerns about the article's objectivity and accuracy.
