This course outlines the process of organizing and financing the cooperative business. It represents the most important elements to consider when forming a cooperative. It lists what special expertise is necessary, and where to look for help.
The subject emphasizes working with groups of producers to develop markets and sources of supply. This study has been broadened to also include nonfarm cooperative applications. The cooperative business structure, already shown to be successful in agriculture, also has been useful in helping others obtain desired benefits or provide needed services in areas like housing, utilities, finance, health care, child care, and small business support.
