Co operation and the British Board of Agriculture
At a London conference last year the president of the Board of Agriculture urged farming to unite through cooperative societies while preserving independence. He argued large wholesale bodies can lower costs and rates, but strength must come from strong unions and effective mediation by the Agricultural Organisation Society. He favored a wholesale society and noted the need to bridge town and country. On day two, Mr Leslie Scott contrasted capitalisation in industrial and agricultural enterprises, citing UK investments and outputs to show how cooperation lowers production costs in farming.
