Excerpt from Agricultural Cooperation in Western Europe: Section C: Norway, Sweden and Denmark Farmer cooperatives and general farm organizations of Western Europe are of increasing interest to the people of the United States. At least two factors are responsible. One is the close working relations developing between the agricultural organizations of Western Europe and those of the United States. The other is the important role which these organiza tions play in the economic life of their countries. Thus, in the United States, there is a continuing and growing need on the part of cooperative and other groups for information on agricultural cooperatives in these Western European countries. This report is an attempt to fill the need for such information. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
