He said cooperative officials are not sure that sales will ever recover proportionally to the level they were prior to 2007 and 2008.
“We're preparing, going forward, to not see that kind of revenue going forward,” Dalton said.
But Dalton emphasized that the cooperative plans to finish 2013 without a rate increase. The last time the cooperative adjusted the energy component of its rate was November 2008.
“We don't forsee a rate increase the rest of this year, and if there is one at all in 2014, we think it will be small, 3 or 4 percent,” Dalton said.
