COOPERATIVE
MARKETING OF
CERTIFIED SEEDS

80 Growers OF ccrtif1cd seed IN viz
ginia, especially those who are pro-
ducing certified soybeans, have real
lied the absolute necessity of coop
erative effort in marketing and dis
tributing their seed. An organiza-
ton, such rs is now effectively opcr-
ntcd in many other states, is need
cd to advertise, market and distri-
butte the certified seed grown by
members of the Virginia Crop I'm
provement Association. The indi-
vidual grower is not in position to
either properly advertise seed, ex-
cept at nnjustifiable expense, or han
die inquiries and correspondence.
A meeting of the Virginia Crop
q Improvement Association was held
August 10, 1922, during the State
Farmers Institute ut BlacksburE.
More than ono hundred members of
the organization present Mt the meet
ing unanimously authorized the
BOARD of Directors to adopt a plan
for the cooperative marketing OF
certified seed and to prepare CON
tract in conformity with the market
ing plan for signature by the asso-
ciation and individual seed growers
The Board of Directors is now
working out the details of market
ing plan, the main features of which
are as follows:
(A) The formation OF "a co-opcra-
tive, non-profit marketing organiza-
tion to be known as the Marketing
Department of the Virginia Crop I'M
Hrovcmcnt Association.
Is; The adoption OF thrce-year
contract through which individual
seed growers appoint the Marketing
Department thpir exclusive sales
agent for the advertising and mar
kuting of all certified seeds produced
by them during the cxiitcnce of
the contract.
/. This contract will provide that
the Marketing Department shall sell
seed for the grower at the pest prices
obtainnblc under market conditions.
.. The Marketing Department
shall make no proiit ami shall charge
q uniform brokerage fee to all grow
ers sufficient only to meet the neccs-
sary expense of operation
). In the event that there is any
seed that the Marketing Department
IS unable TO sell at reasonable eerti-
fed seed prices the contract on that
particular lot OF seed shall he sus-
pended Mt the discretion OF the Board
al Directors. Each grower under
the terms of the contract shall be
permitted to retain enough seed Tor
his own use.
4 Orders for seed VIII be prorated
by the Marketing Department in pro
portion to the amount of seed pro
duced by each signer OF the contract.
However, every grower may exercise
as much initiative III selling his own
seed ms he wishes since any orders
obtained by individual growers wl'i
be iilled from their particular lot of
seed.
