l /JUSTING CC OPBRATIVES
Farmers’ production is of little
value unless it is made available to
the consumer. Moreover, it must be
offered to the consumer at a price
ho can afford to pay and be of such
quality as to create continued de
mand .
All of this r-rvolvos marketing which,
as the U«3.h s grown, has, in many
cases, kco .. a highly complex job.
I-ilk, for example, which farmers once
peddled from door to door in their
own local areas, may now go hundreds
of miles to market. The some is true
of other products.
To distribute their products in a
market grown complex, farmers hovo
organized marketing cooperatives.
Through these c ssocir tions, far .iers
provide themselves with a dependable
outlet for their products as well as
a "yardstick" for determining what
distribution or merchandising ser
vices should cost,
Today, farmers market every major
commodity.
