Agricultural cooperatives (USA)

Agricultural cooperatives in the USA are member-owned organizations where farmers and producers unite to collectively manage resources, marketing, and purchasing. By working together, members can access better prices for supplies, share equipment, and sell their products more efficiently. These cooperatives empower farmers, reduce individual risks, and promote sustainable practices. They operate democratically, with members having a say in decision-making, and aim to strengthen their economic position while fostering community collaboration within the agricultural sector.
