Understanding Marketing Cooperatives and Legislation

A marketing cooperative is a farmer-owned organization that allows farmers to jointly market similar agricultural products. The Cooperative Marketing Act of 1926 expanded on previous legislation to permit farmers attending cooperative meetings to share various types of production and market information without violating antitrust laws. This allowed them to exchange a broader range of information beyond just pricing data to better cooperatively market their products.

A marketing cooperative is an organization owned and operated by a group of farmers who

produce similar products.


The Cooperative Marketing Act of 1926 was a piece of agricultural legislation passed in the United
States which expanded upon the Capper-Volstead Act of 1922. It allowedfarmers to exchange past,
present, and prospective crop, market, statistical, economic, and other similar information at their
local cooperative meeting, without breakingantitrust laws. Previously, under the Capper-Volstead Act,
they had only been permitted to exchange pricing information.[1]
