Delta

Delta

Delta cooperative is in the heart of
the Mississippi River cotton and soybean
area and includes Sunflower County,
where former Senator John Stennis
farmed and lived, as did civil rights
leader Fannie Lou Hamer. Sunflower
is one of the thirteen (13) counties serving 26769
members. The Delta cooperative is almost singularly
opaque, though we know from the listed eleven (11)
board members that eleven (11) are men and that the
president is white.
This is a situation where the majority population
covered by Delta is African-American. Arguably, the
governing body is also represented by a majority of
African-Americans, everything being equal, though
given the lack of transparency from this cooperative,
we would have to remain doubtful that is the case, until
proven otherwise.
