Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: Significant changes are taking place in the swine industry. Many, such as largescale corporate farming and contracting, threaten the very existence of the family farm. Therefore, the authors sought appropriate cooperative activities that could keep the family farm competitive with other production systems, and thereby encourage survival of the family farm. Alternative cooperative activities and strategies were developed through personal contacts with farm supply and livestock marketing and processing cooperatives, family farms, large corporate farms, equipment and building suppliers, and others connected with the industry. A number of cooperatives offering their producers innovative production, marketing and processing programs are named in this report. They are named as examples only and no attempt was made to prepare a complete list of cooperatives offering such programs.
