Farm leader urges louder use of marketing cooperatives
Kenneth D. Naden of the National Council of Farmers Cooperatives argues farmers already own powerful marketing and supply cooperatives and should fully use them instead of seeking new bargaining authority. He notes 1922 legislation spawned farmer owned businesses and promotes group action through cooperatives rather than labor style bargaining. The American Farm Bureau Federation opposes Mondale's bill and backs grower associations to bargain with buyers of produce.
