From sunrise to

...40,000 cooperatives work hard for their member
owners and their communities.
In big cities, small towns and rural areas, cooperatives owned
and operated by 60,000 Americans provide a tremendous
variety of goods and services electric and telephone service,
farm credit, credit unions, farm marketing and supply, food,
health, day care and insurance.
Cooperatives work because they meet people's needs
efficiently and economically. That’s why cooperatives have
scored high marks for quality goods and services all across
America.
In Pennsylvania, agricultural cooperatives work hard,
generating about $3 billion in economic activity for the
Commonwealth. Cooperative people can point with pride to
what their cooperatives have achieved for friends, neighbors
and communities. Cooperatives are true American success
stories; they are also democracy in action.
Organized in 1933, the Pennsylvania Association of Farmer
Cooperatives provides service to its 40-plus rural and
agricultural cooperative members. These services range from a
variety of educational programs to communications, public
relations and public affairs.
Each October, we take time to salute the men and women
whose dedication to the cooperative spirit ensures that
cooperatives work today and tomorrow.
