AES was also named the fastest growing business in Brazos Valley last year. The final award was the Anco Insurance Lifetime Achievement Award presented to James Deatherage for Producers Cooperative Association. Producers Co-Op has been a successful business in the Brazos Valley for the past 61 years. Revenues for the single location business have exceeded $36 million in 2004. Producers Co-Op was formed in 1943 by 17 farmers who sold feed. Today, it is recognized as one of the most efficient and profitable agricultural supply cooperatives in the nation, Fazzino said. “Our success has been tied to the hard listed vision of a few and the hard work of many,” Deatherage said. Anco Insurance also made a $500 contribution to the Chamber of Commerce in the name of Producer's Co-Op. “We are just trying to spotlight successful small businesses,” Fazzino said. “When business is at it’s best, the community is at its best."
