Co operative Farms Drive Smallholder Access to Implements
A London Board of Agriculture piece notes steady progress of the co operative movement in Ireland and England to place small farmers on equal footing with larger neighbors by sharing saving appliances. It cites new societies forming in Holt Hayling, Brandaby, Kuntefurt and Isle of Wight, including a £1000 capital start at Kewtsford. The Isle of Wight group, formed by 12 farmers, bought steamp[l]ows to save time and labor. Capital is raised by 200 shares of £1 each with initial paid up amounts and bank backing. The article outlines conditions for success: demand for implements, depreciation allowances, and fully utilizing engines. It discusses costs, such as potato sorting and digger usage, and notes that initial small-scale purchases can fund larger equipment later. It mentions advisory support from the Agricultural Organization Society.
