This special re-print edition of John Lee Coulter's book Co-operation Among Farmers: The Keystone of Rural Prosperity is a guide to the establishment of organized co-operatives among farmers and ranchers. An agricultural cooperative, also known as a farmers' co-op, is a scenario where farmers pool their resources in certain areas of activity. Agricultural cooperatives are usually distinguished between 'agricultural service cooperatives', which provide various services to their individually farming members, and 'agricultural production cooperatives', where production resources (land, machinery) are pooled and members farm jointly. Written in 1911, this classic text provides insight into the subject of farmer's co-operatives and makes a strong argument for their establishment. Chapters include The Argument For Co-operation, Co-operation Among Dairy Farmers, Marketing of Butter and Cheese, Production and Marketing of Animals For Meat, Storing and Marketing Grain, Marketing Vegetables, Some Successful Societies For Marketing Vegetables, Marketing Poultry and Eggs, Citrus Fruits, Co-operative Stores and much more on the subject. A truly unique and highly informative book on the subject that helped to spawn the establishment of many such co-operatives during the early part of the 20th Century and that will be of immense interest to modern small farmers. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface.
