with major oil producing countries for supplies needed by
cooperatives to meet farm and rural energy needs.
lEC Chairman Sigved Sampson, president of Midland
Cooperatives, Inc., Minneapolis, said that during the 1973
energy crunch farmer cooperatives found they couldn’t rely
on historical suppliers as they had done in the past.
“We realized then,” said Sampson, “that if we were to
adequately supply farmers with fuel for food production,
we'd have to form our own trading company to find more
reliable suppliers.”
To achieve its objectives, the International Energy
Cooperative will: purchase energy supplies-both crude oil
and finished products; trade agricultural commodities;
explore the possibility of operating jointly-owned food
processing and marketing enterprises in the host country;
explore the possibility of building and operating jointly
owned refineries; and provide the latest in food production
technology to trading partners.
Farmer cooperatives currently supply about 30 percent of
the total fuel used on U. S. farms. One-third of their supply is
refined in their own refineries, and two-thirds is bought as
finished product. They own about 10 percent of their crude oil
supplies.
Negotiations In Progress
lEC President Jack Thrasher, chief executive officer of
National Cooperative Refinery Association, McPherson,
Kansas, said that the trading company is currently
negotiating with six major oil producing countries in Africa
and the Middle East for crude oil and other supplies.
“From our discussions,” said Thrasher, “we’ve found that
these countries like dealing directly with a farmer-owned U.
S. trading company. And, since most are developing coun
tries, they like the agricultural technology and production
know-how that we can bring them through the lEC.”
Thrasher said that cooperative owners of the International
Energy Cooperative believe that they can operate on the
same scale as a major oil company.
In addition to Thrasher and Sampson, other officers of the

According to Smith you
can grow most of the
vegetables for canning,
freezing and fresh use
necessary for two people for
one year on a 25 by 50 foot
garden. A garden of this size
would require about one-half
