Farmers have long been the
bulwark of free enterprise in
America. In the busjnegs world,
farmers long ago recognized that
they must work together if they
are to be competitive. To meet
the demands described by ProfesLarson, the men of the soil turned
to cooperatives that they themselves could own and operate.
They found that true farmer cooperatives had the “built-in
stimulant” nécessary to do the
job for the farmer.

FARMER COOPERATIVES
Cooperatives are farmers’ business Organizations and have
played an important role in the
building of a prosperous Ameriean agriculture. Today, over three
million farm families—three out
of five farmers—belong to cooperative. marketing or purchasing
associations, The total business
done by thesse farmer organizations exceeds 10 billion dollars
annually. The farmers themselves
had, in 1958, an ownership investment in these cooperatives of
over 3.7 billion dollars.
Farmer cooperatives .were organized and are growing because
of four basic reasons: (1) They
permit individual farmers to band
together and successfully compete with big. business, big labor,
and big government. (2) They
provide the farmer with services
and facilities not otherwise readily obtainable. (3) They give the
farmer an opportunity to improve
quality and standardize products
in his marketing activities. (4);
They give the farmer a voice in
the marketing of his products,
purchasing and service functions.
Farmer cooperatives must be
run on sound business lines in
order to survive. No-group of
people will long support an enterprise that is not performing

the farmer's problems, although
many individuals and groups expound their theories. The farmer
himself must determine his destiny and it is important that he
work through his farm organization to have his voice heard.
The future of cooperatives in
the agricultural picture was
summed up by Joseph G. Knapp,
ydministrator of the Farmer Cooperative Service, U. S: Department. of Agriculture, during a
recent speech, when he said: “The
future role of cooperatives in our
free enterprise system will depend to a large extent upon the
abiltiy and capacity of cooperative leaders to capitalize on the
undeveloped potentials of cooperatives for meeting farmers’ needs.

Routhe, University of Minnesota
economist.
He thinks that by 1975 Amerieans will need 50 per cent more
beef annually than they are now
eating because of the expected
growth in population.
In actual numbers, he said,
there will need to be about 108,000,000 head of beef cattle on
U. S. farms in 1965 and 127,000,000 in 1975. Right now there
are about 97,000,000.
