The significant point where cooperative agriculture departs from traditional methods, lies in the farmer's recognition that he must think in terms of national as well as individual production. For successful production, he must receive prices for his products commensurate with those the manufacturer charges for his products. Cooperative agriculture is today a practical formula by which the individual farmer, through marketing and purchasing, can turn his products into more profitable channels., Electronic reproduction.
