TRUE COOPERATIVES

Considerable missaprehension as
to the functions and financial set-up
OF agricultural cooperatives seems
to exist in the public mind.
There is feeling. for example.
that a coop is financed by govern
ment, and babied along with the aid
of public largesses.
There may be cooperatives Of
which this is true-but they are not
the true farm cooperatives that rep
resent the collective production and
marketing efforts of the producers
of an area. These agricultural pro-
ducers put UP their money to es-
tablish their organizations. They
hire their managers and they take
all the risks.
Thus, IL the cooperative manage
ment is capable. the members re-
ceive the economic benefits. IL II Is
incompetent. the members take the
loss. There is no financial Santa
Claus to help them.
Such producer cooperatives are
business-like In set-up and in oper-
alton. They apply proven business
principles to the problems of agri-
culture.
