FARMERS, COOPE §Tv^ES, and USDA FARMERS, COOPE §t v^ES, AND USDA 'ai ISTORY OF AGRICULTURAL ¿; OPERATIVE SERVICE -< -3Ç ■ FARMERS, COOPERATIVES, AND USDA A HISTORY OF AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE SERVICE BY WAYNE D.RASMUSSEN Agricultural Information Bulletin 621 July 1991 Preface July 2, 1991, marks the 65th anniversary of passage of the Cooperative Marketing Act of 1926. This act recognizes cooperative marketing as an implicit part of the Nation's policy prescription for assisting producers of agricultural products to deal with issues facing them. Some of the momentum supporting this approach was altered in the Depression of the 1930's when farm programs were initiated to address a number of the same problems. Now that farm program assistance is being reduced for budget austerity reasons through the 1985 and 1990 farm bills, focus is once again emerging on self-help efforts by producers through their cooperatively owned businesses as a principal means to address farm problems. Furthermore, applications are being explored to other dimen- sions of rural America as a means of enhancing the quality of rural life. The Department's role in assisting producers and other rural residents to engage in self-help activity is worth documenting at this juncture. It demonstrates how a relatively small program, by Federal standards, has had a significant impact on improving farm incomes and market effi- ciency. Cooperation takes on an increasingly important role as inde- pendent farmers face a marketplace characterized by more integration, coordination, and interdependence. Readers should glean from this book how a governmental service-ori- ented program can augment a stronger and more prosperous produc- tion agriculture and rural America. This study was made possible by the cooperation of many staff mem- bers of Agricultural Cooperative Service, particularly Randall E. Torgerson and Gene Ingalsbe, and other members of the cooperative community This book is dedicated to them. Foreword Help supporting self-help is perhaps the finest and most constructive phi- losophy for governmental assistance. The spirit of this form of assistance to farmers was captured in the Cooperative Marketing Act of 1926, which formalized the U.S. Department of Agriculture's service to cooperatively owned businesses throughout agriculture. Through the act, the United States encourages and supports self-help with a program of research and technical, advisory, and educational assistance. This facilitating role con- trasts sharply with governmental programs in other countries that are reg- ulatory in nature with audit and other oversight responsibilities. This book by Wayne Rasmussen, renowned agricultural historian, cap- tures three essential elements in the evolution of cooperation among farm operators. The first is the development of laws encouraging coop- eration among producers of agricultural products as a major and endur- ing farm policy prescription for solving farm problems. The second is the nurturing and growth of the Department's cooperative program under various organizational arrangements including its placement in the Federal Farm Board and Farm Credit Administration before it was given USDA agency status in 1953 during the Eisenhower Administration. The third is its focus on cooperatives as off-farm extensions of farm firms, and how cooperatives continue to require assistance with their problems after more than 100 years of structural change and growth. Cooperation is often rooted in the structural relations of farmers and other rural residents as they face market forces. As such, cooperative action is a pragmatic response that seeks to correct a disparity in mar- keting power, but at the same time strives to enhance market efficiency and coordination. In the 65 years since passage of the Cooperative Marketing Act, the business community has learned to appreciate and respect the role and uniqueness of the cooperative method of doing business, rather than viewing it as social reform foreign to this coun- try. In fact, the cooperative form is used by many businesses today. Farm operators using cooperatives have achieved parity in many cases with other market channel participants and become leading marketers of goods and services in some sectors, and are considered the primary business form in many rural communities. This progress from an idea, and part of a movement advocated by successive farm organizations in the early years, indicates the presence today of a mature and sophisti- cated business system with local, regional, and national levels and an emerging international dimension. New opportunities confronting rural America challenge cooperatives to respond. One is the globalization of the marketplace and the chal- lenges multinational firms bring to cooperatively owned businesses. A second is industrialization of the farm production process that chal- lenges the role of independent farm operators. A third is the restruc- turing of rural America and the opportunity to extend self-help to many services needed in rural communities such as health care, communica- tion networks, housing, utilities, and other applications. Considerable room exists for cooperative growth. Market shares repre- sented by cooperatives are rather modest compared to those held by investor-oriented firms in this country and cooperatively owned agri- cultural businesses in other countries. This book is about USDA's primary program devoted to the use and advancement of cooperatives among producers. This program serves as a model that should be carefully studied and evaluated. Many feel it has broad applications to developing countries, and even to other indus- trialized nations. This book demonstrates that cooperation is an idea that works. Cooperation is a powerful self-help tool forged on the hearth of eco- nomic democracy. When cooperatives are a dimension of a capitalistic economy, markets perform more efficiently and effectively in serving the public. Randall E.

COMMODITIES LITIGATION: THE IMPACT OF RICO Michael S. Sackheim* Francis J. Leto** Steven A. Friedman*** INTRODUCTION The number of private actions commenced against commodities brokers and other professionals in the futures area has increased dramatically in the last few years. Although these lawsuits primarily have been based on viola- tions of the Commodities Exchange Act (CEAct),' the complaints have fre- quently included allegations that the federal Racketeering Influenced and Cor- rupt Organization Act (RICO)2 was also violated by the subject defendents. In invoking the racketeering laws, the plaintiff often seeks to take advantage of the treble damage provision of RICO.3 This article will analyze the application of the racketeering laws to com- mon, garden-variety commodities fraud cases. Specifically, this article addresses those cases where a brokerage firm is sued because of the illegal acts of its agents. It is the authors' contention that the treble damages pro- vision of RICO should not be applied to legitimate brokerage firms who are innocently involved in instances of commodities fraud through the acts of their agents.

  • Manipulation of Commodity Futures Prices-The Unprosecutable Crime
    Manipulation of Commodity Futures Prices-The Unprosecutable Crime Jerry W. Markhamt The commodity futures market has been beset by large-scale market manipulations since its beginning. This article chronicles these manipulations to show that they threaten the economy and to demonstrate that all attempts to stop these manipulations have failed. Many commentators suggest that a redefinition of "manipulation" is the solution. Markham argues that enforcement of a redefined notion of manipulation would be inefficient and costly, and would ultimately be no more successful than earlierefforts. Instead, Markham arguesfor a more active Commodity Futures Trading Commission empowered not only to prohibit certain activities which, broadly construed, constitute manipulation, but also to adopt affirmative regulations which will help maintain a 'fair and orderly market." This more powerful Commission would require more resources than the current CFTC, but Markham argues that the additionalcost would be more than offset by the increasedefficiencies of reduced market manipulation.

    The United States Federal Government and the Making of Modern Futures Markets, 1920-1936 Rasheed KM Saleuddin Corpus Christi College September 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. i ii The Unites States Federal Government and the Making of Modern Futures Markets, 1920-36 Rasheed Saleuddin In 1921, 1924 and 1929-1934, markets for the future delivery of wheat went through periods of extreme volatility and/or significant depression, and in all three cases there were significant and long-lasting changes to both the institutional and regulatory framework of these Chicago- dominated grain markets. There was no real change after these key reforms until 1974, while indeed much of the original regulatory and market innovation remains. The result of the severe depression of 1921 was the Futures Trading Act of 1921. In 1924-25, the so-called ‘Cutten corner’ market turmoil was followed by three key institutional innovations brought about in 1926 by US federal government coercion of the grain futures trading industry in collusion with industry leaders. The Great Depression gave birth to the 1936 Commodity Exchange Act. This Act was based on research done by the government and/or with government-mandated evidence that essentially saw the small grain gambler as needing protection from the grain futures industry, and was pushed through by a coalition of farmers’ organisations and the agency responsible for the 1922 Act’s administration. The government demanded information that was begrudgingly provided, and the studies of this data formed the basis of a political and intellectual justification of the usefulness of futures markets to the marketing of farm products that influenced the Act of 1936 and – more importantly - continues to today.
