CAN A COOPERATING- COOPERATIVE
COOPERATE ?
With the experience, study and
r. seer eh, raid assistance avail
a'ulo, it is no longer necessary
for producers and marketing assoc
iations to gro pe about in the
d'a.iT when they cone idor the settl
ing up of associations to market
poultry or other farm produce.
The. State colleges cf agricul
ture, county agents and extension
service, banks of or cooperatives,
Farm Credit Administration, r.nd
others are all in a Position to
help the cooperative. Obtaining
the advice and assistance of one
or more of these agencies may
be invaluable. Failure of groups
to avail themselves of tvis assis
tance nay spell the difference
between failure and success.
It is true that in many instances
no eno knows the answer tc a
specific problem, however, re
search work is being done and
dtudics made by n't ate and Federal
agencies to enable all cf us to
be better informed and more help
ful in solving many of those pro
blems .
However, we are locking to the
future. The days cf setting up
hew associations by 'he trial
and error method should be defin
itely over. Much pioneering work
4 k
probably had to be done on a hit
and-miss basis sometime but a
more scientific approach is now
both possible and advisable. We
should now benefit from the ac
cumulation of knowledge gained
from past experience and with
this knowledge carry the move
ment forward into the future
with increasing faith and assur
ance .
