Washington, D.C. (February 9, 2010)—At its 81st Annual Meeting in Santa Barbara, California, the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives last week launched a campaign to tell the story of this country’s 2500 farmer cooperatives to policy makers, government officials, and the American public. Based around the theme of “Farmer Cooperatives: Providing for America”, the campaign will emphasize the central role that co-ops play in preserving the family farm, supporting the rural economy, and bringing innovative products to consumers in the U.S. and around the world.
