October is co-op month
America's family farmers make
up the most efficient system of food
production in the world today. This
tiny minority of our population not
only feeds the nation but also helps
feed the world.
This efficient food production sys
tem could not exist without the sup
port of farmer cooperatives to pro
vide us with dependable sources of
supplies, credit and markets.
What do cooperatives? many of
them located in rural areas? do for
the average urban dweller whose
only contact with farming is a trip to
the local supermarket?
A cooperative is a business volun
tarily owned and controlled by its
member-patrons and operated for
them on a nonprofit basis. Each coop
erative member has an equal voice in
his organization and shares in bene
fits according to the amount of his pa
tronage.
Without cooperatives many of the
fanners' costs of operating would be
higher. These added costs would then
be passed on to the consumer.
The existence of strong cooper

atives helps small businesses survive
and succeed. Many small farmers
probably could not survive without
such organizations.
As community-oriented institu
tions, cooperatives help build
stronger communities and develop
leadership. They add jobs and in
come to communities. Perhaps,
more important, they enable user
owners to build self-reliance in busi
ness actions and help develop a busi
ness leadership that carries over to
many other important fields.
In short, cooperatives are a nec
essary and vital part of our private
competitive enterprise system.
