Excerpt from Helping Farmers Build Cooperatives: The Evolution of Farmer Cooperative Service Mr. Abrahamsen has served with Farmer Cooperative Service and its predecessor organization, the Cooperative Research and Service Division, Farm Credit Administration, since 1949. Before that time he had 13 years' experience in teaching and research in agricultural cooperation at West Virginia University and North Carolina State College. Because of continuing responsibilities in a broad range of cooperative research and educational efforts, his experience well supplements that of Mr. Mckay when it comes to interpreting the implications of recent governmental programs with cooperatives and the efforts of these associations to provide assistance to the people they are organized to serve: This study has been made to provide a record of many develop ments which might otherwise be lost - to preserve the lessons of the past for the use of the present and future. It has been prepared primarily for research workers, teachers, cooperative leaders, and those of the general public who have an interest in and appreciation of the forces that have helped make farmer cooperatives what they are today.

Excerpt from The Modern Farm Cooperative Movement It is hoped that this volume will bring some thing of the magnitude of the farm cooperative movement to the business man, the consumer and to the farmer himself. We have attempted to sketch the causes of unrest which gave birth to the movement, to give a glimpse of the magnitude of the local cooperative movement, and to outline the more recent step taken; namely, the federation movement, much of which is still in the process of formation. There has been no partizan purpose in the writing of this book. The central purpose has been to present the facts. Any matters of belief occurring to the author have been placed in the last three chapters of the book, relating to the future of the movement. Of course, the reader is at liberty to formulate his own Opinions concern ing the movement, but we believe that he will be interested, at least, in these pages. Grateful acknowledgment is made to the many authorities quoted and to the many investigators in the employ of state and nation whose tables, charts and graphs are reprinted herewith.

Excerpt from Cooperation in Agriculture The American cooperative movement, even in the oldest cooperative organizations, is in the formative stage. The principles of cooperation are not generally understood, and few persons appreciate the difference between a cooperative organization formed for the benefit of its members, and a corporation formed for pecuniary profit. The so - called cooperative associations in the United States and Canada have usually been formed as corporations for profit, and do not differ in principle from the ordinary stock corporations, although an eflort has often been made by the organizers to conduct them along cooperative lines. The development of the agricultural cooperation move ment needs to be preceded in most of the states by legisla tion that will permit the formation of non-profit cooperative associations or the formation of profit corporations that can be operated legally for the benefit of the members.

Excerpt from How Cooperatives Helped Farmers in Time of Shortages The executive vice president of a regional co operative observes that: The fact that agriculture squeezed by in 1973 with minimum loss of produc tion was due in part to the extraordinary efforts of the farm supply cooperatives of our Nation. Cooperatives were among the first to recognize and call attention to the seriousness of the energy problem as it relates to food production. Months before the Government took action, cooperatives redirected their procurement and sales efforts to give top priority to farmers. Cooperatives' manufacturing and wholesaling facilities helped make supplies available. Their local distribution system was keyed naturally to serving agriculture. The president of a statewide cooperative said that cooperatives became known for another major objective or service, namely, supply availability.
