This past week we learned of the passing of Darrell Deverman, who owned Atlanta Ag Service in  Atlanta, IL and served as the Chairman of the IFCA Board of Directors in 1989.  We send our condolences to his family and remember his service and leadership in our industry.  His obituary is here.  

 

Ralph Allen, who was the owner/operator of both Allerton Supply Company and Prairie States Warehouse also passed away recently.  He was also a pioneer in the industry and his family continues the tradition of service that he embodied for more than 40 years in the business.  Ralph's obituary is here.  

 

We remember these gentlemen for being a vibrant part of the ag retail industry and helping to shape the way in which we have improved the management and delivery of supply and service through the many advances that occurred during their careers.
